An apology

You might have noticed a theme following my previous blog post.

I joined Extinction Rebellion quite naive as to how narrow its focus was.

I learned today that when co-founding it 2 years ago, it was considered too urgent to include any social or climate justice in the demands. 

This has undone decades of work from People of Colour around the world to make sure you can't have a climate movement that doesn't address social inequality.

From Extinction Rebellion in the UK, London, I apologize and mourn for all the good people who have suffered the racism that XR has been built on, or left realising that they'd been played by another skinny white old man.
