It is and today we are honoring Vanessa Nakate, a Ugandan climate justice activist from Kampala who has inspired us and many more people across the globe! :vanessa: :earth:

Nakate started her journey as a climate activist in 2018 after becoming aware of the effects of climate change on the livelihoods of many Ugandans. Later, she founded the Youth for Future Africa and the Africa-based Rise Up Movement. In addition, she is the leader of Uganda’s first Fridays for Future climate strikes.

Thought her activism, she raises awareness about the implications and causes of climate change. She is a hardworking and determined activist who aims to bring the voices and experiences of people in the Global South to the global arena.

This month, today and everyday we cherish and celebrate the long history and achievements of black folx. Throughout the course of , we will use our platform to uplift the voices of black feminists and environmental activists.

Today, we start by honoring Angela Yvonne Davis, a prominent civil rights activist, scholar, writer and lifelong feminist.

For more than half a century, Angela Davis has advocated against many forms of oppression. Structural change and transformation, according to Davis, reflects decades of activism before awareness enters the mainstream. That is a message she wants to convey to the younger generations, and she invites them to imagine what might happen in the years to come. Davis herself, feels privileged to have seen structural change start making sense after years of fighting, yet she is willing to fight until all oppressed people are free.

Angela Davis is a proponent of radical self care, and she first starting practicing yoga and meditation in jail as a form of individual care practice. Later on, she acknowledged the importance of the collective character of care. A holistic approach is what she advocates for, in order to develop our movements for the better. Davis also believes in intersectional feminism, a feminism who is aware and Black women, other women of color, trans women, poor women, all women.

Angela Davis Books:

Women, Race, and Class (1980), Blues Legacies and Black Feminism: Gertrude Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, and Billie Holiday (1999), Are Prisons Obsolete? (2003), Abolition Democracy: Beyond Empire, Prisons, and Torture (2005), The Meaning of Freedom: And Other Difficult Dialogues (2012) and Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement (2016).
