Read ThisIsZeroHour activist Kaylah Brathwaite on the toll climate change has taken on Saint Croix — and why she’s going on strike. CoveringClimateNow
. Stronger hurricanes impede on the livelihood of locals, taking a toll on their agriculture, marine life, homes, and their health. More powerful countries are responsible for letting the climate crisis become so extreme, yet they’ve also left vulnerable communities squabbling for habitable land. Strikes and mass mobilization are instrumental to acquiring climate justice.
But striking is not a viable option for many on the island. People I’ve spoken to are scared of being fired from their jobs or being arrested due to racial profiling; others may not have the time or think the strikes aren’t worth it. These are all valid concerns worth addressing. But right now, I see it is an obligation of mine to use my voice to amplify theirs.
There is little more valuable than listening to the voices and stories of those experiencing a crisis firsthand. There is a different sense of urgency for those of us whose whose homes are being destroyed right now. We understand that revolutionary action is required. We must call upon our representatives to take the climate crisis as seriously as it deserves. We strike out of fear and to show unity against systems that seek to destroy us.
