*[Enwl-eng] Tell the people fighting for climate justice at COP26 they're not alone
ENWLine
We’re just about halfway through the UN climate talks in Glasgow. COP26 is making headlines across the world, but there’s also the other, less visible work going on.
Activists and delegates representing vulnerable communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis, from the Pacific Islands to the Indigenous Peoples in Central America, are here fighting a long, hard battle to get their voices heard.
They’re the people pointing towards real, just, equitable solutions to the climate crisis, both inside the conference center and outside on the streets of Glasgow. Their fight will continue after COP is over, but for the coming week they could use all the support, love and encouragement they can get to keep fighting.
Can you send a message of love and solidarity to activists and delegates representing the most vulnerable communities, working hard inside and outside COP26 to bring real climate leadership to this process?
Right now there are two COPs. The Global North COP is filled with greenwashing, billionaires, and exclusionary politics. Then there’s the COP taking place in the streets of Glasgow and cities around the world. It's made up of Indigenous communities, young people, and people leading the fight to save their homes and a way of life. It is vital the people who embody that second COP stay in the room. It is their leadership that will result in meaningful policy and concrete plans.
We don't want to overwhelm people representing the most vulnerable communities inside the climate negotiations with tons of direct messages and notifications going off on their phones, that's why we're asking you to use this form to share your words of support and encouragement, rather than pointing you directly to specific people's social media accounts. But trust me: we'll make sure these messages find their intended recipients in the coming days.
Send a message of support to these activists now.
If COP is a compass, we still have time to point it in the right direction.
Thank you for sharing the love and support,
Cansin, for the 350.org team
