 Challenging the climate crisis is not just about survival of a few, but if we're not careful, it very well could be. Hi, I'm Hillary Moore, author of Burning Earth, Changing Europe, and this booklet was really driven by a dangerous contradiction, one where climate change and the environmental crisis are life-and-death struggles, and at the same time these crises pose very real vulnerabilities for progressive organizing. And we're in a moment where there's so many young people galvanized and energized by these movements, and yet they still face very political crossroads as newcomers. And the fact is that all of this is happening within an authoritarian landscape increasingly so, and it's a fact that we can't ignore. How does the racist right leverage this consistent popular concern about climate change? And what does that look like at the parliamentary level within Europe? And how is that reflected in the organizing of far-right, xenophobic, and even fascist movements at the ground level? These questions are not open. They have answers, and this booklet is an exploration of both. It's also a case for equipping environmental movements to wield climate justice and racial justice together by becoming more skilled at centering those who are most impacted and neutralizing hijack attempts from the racist right. I think this pandemic is reminding us that the economy is based in life, you know, in the living world, in the web of life, and that we ignore that at our peril. As we know, care workers in nursing homes, in hospitals, in grocery stores, all, you know, agricultural workers, that those are the people who need to actually control these systems and know best how to make them safe for themselves, for the land, and for the people that they're supposed to be serving. That's the root of this crisis is that decisions are being made far from where the impacts are being felt. I think the crucial question of the community economy, the public ownership or community ownership, that we will really definitely need to advance in this time of crisis, because we also know that how capitalism works and that crisis out time of even more concentration of capital and I think being aware of the power that also communities have in shifting this question of ownership is crucial. At the core of it, or there's some aspect to it, I think the right is really good at organizing around dignity and belonging in ways that white people are ultimately kind of divorced from land or divorced from a kind of belonging that gives a purpose and a connectedness. And so if we're able to build the skills in our left and progressive movements of like, we can belong together in our different social locations because we are committed to something that's much bigger and much more compelling. In order to organize in a very concrete way and in a I think very productive way, we have to in Germany at least come to terms that migration is not some phenomena, which we can sort of attack after we got rid of all the sort of important issues. Migration and the anti-racist struggle really is at the center of it all. You know, we always say, like especially from within the black movement also, who built the streets, migrants built the streets. So we are also the ones who should name the streets. And I think this is also true for sort of anti-fascist movements, especially of course anti-racist movements but also anti-capitalist movements. We sort of have to put the perspectives of the people directly affected by exploitation by racism sort in the center. We are all rooted in our local communities and our national politics and that the injustices that we're facing, we are starting at the local level but unless we move from that to some sort of international solidarity with other people in similar situations, our policies will be very easy to dissipate. Climate change has to put internationalism at its center and the whole idea of international solidarity. Things that I get excited about, things that I look forward to are a progressive and left climate movement that can coordinate well with anti-racist and anti-colonial struggles. I feel like there's wisdom, there's experience, there's skills that are very complementary and I would love to be part of conversations who are exploring what it is to have these pieces be a complementary whole. These movements are different responses taking care of different things to the same crisis.
