Standing with activists: We can't breathe

A statement by Natural Justice expressing solidarity with activists and communities facing racial, police, and state oppression, linking these struggles to the broader pursuit of environmental justice.

• Natural Justice links environmental justice to all forms of justice, asserting that the planetary crisis, climate change, and the destruction of nature will have a disproportionate impact on vulnerable and poor populations, specifically including indigenous and local communities globally and poor communities in Africa.
• The organization condemns police brutality and the lack of accountability for those in power, specifically citing the deaths of George Floyd and Collins Khosa, as well as the repression of activists, indigenous people, and ordinary citizens during COVID-19 lockdowns.
• Natural Justice expresses solidarity with people in South Africa and the United States of America protesting black oppression and condemns the restriction of civil society space and peaceful protest in the United States of America and other locations.
