Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸Around my third year of being on City Council as a climate activist in my own community I came to a realization that there were only two truly important issues in Canada and the World.
1) Climate Action. (ie. #endfossifuels)
2) Decolonization. (ie. #whitesupremacy #patriarchy)
All other issues and solutions eventually circle back to one or both of these two things.
It is easy to see who supports, or enables, the forces that prevent those two goals from being reached.
What I didn’t anticipate at the time was how those regressive forces would converge, coalesce, and crystallize into political movements that are now attempting to destroy civilization’s incredible social progress since WWII.
Big changes are very near. That is why it feels like things are getting worse even as we all see there is so much good already in place.
It is that the pushback from the powerful few is increasing. They see their advantage slipping away.
We either fall to the past or push through this resistance and truly enter the 21st century.
But it is clear now… we will need to PUSH.
No incrementalism.
No hesitation.
We have to demand the absolute best outcome now and make it real.
