"Embracing imagination in activism is often framed as wishful thinking. But #RadicalImagination is a fundamental part of working toward a vision of the future for all social movements, from racial justice to decolonial movements. Imagination, world-building, dreams and utopias are used by various talented social activists who encourage us to envision a different world. #Climate activists shouldn’t shy away from this."
