Robin’s comment about climate change and social justice activism
… read the comment here. The social justice/anti-racism activist does not get behind the climate change issue until he/she sees a framing of the issue which connects his/her concerns with the threat posed by climate change. In fact this was the case with the recent Net Neutrality win in the US. You had a broad coalition of activists inlcuding a big blacklivesmatter contingent getting behind the agenda because someone connected the dots: poorer communities will be disadvantaged by telcos being able to discriminate packets. etc. You see? So we reach out to groups currently fighting for refugee and or disability rights, especially where you have doctors/medical community involved in trying to affect change. Get them to help see and connect dots between what we are pushing, and what they care about and they will get behind the agenda. So we dont need entire medical community, just subsets involved in different issues.
