    Show up for your neighbor: #ClimateCrisis and Inequality at Home

    January 30, 2026
    By Caitlin Marshall

    "When we talk about climate change, we can talk about greenhouse gas emissions, CO2 levels, and kilowatts of renewable energy. These are all key metrics that ensure we’re grounded in solid science as we find a better way forward. But we also need to talk about people. The climate crisis has always been about inequality among people.

    #ClimateChange Displaces Millions

    Globally and locally, those who bear the highest burden of pollution and vulnerability to climate disruption are our #BIPOC neighbors. And one of the threads of that truth is climate migration.

    In the coming decades, climate change will displace millions of people worldwide. Most will be from the Global South, whether directly to escape rising seas and polluted land or indirectly when climate instability exacerbates political instability.

    We might meet this with worry. Or we can be inspired by a different perspective. As #SinafekeshGirma writes, we can 'move beyond viewing migration as a crisis, recognizing its power to advance resilience, inclusive policies, increased adaptation financing, and community-led solutions.'

    #BuildingResilience in Maine

    So what does that mean right now? That means pitching in to support our current #MigrantCommunity in Maine. When we see climate change and #RacialInjustice as interlinked problems, we can also see that the solutions are interlinked.

    For some ideas on where to start: Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition, Maine Immigrant and Refugee Services, Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project, and Maine Equal Justice.

    Showing up for each other today is not only the right thing to do, but it also keeps building our resilience and skills. It prepares us for a future climate-changed world.

    Right here in Portland, we are going to keep seeing climate challenges that ask us to help each other in times of need. Practicing now builds the muscle of resilience, of care. It asks us to be creative, and bold. It forces us to look around and see that change has always, always been part of our story.

    We can lean into our community spirit, and in the words of Maine Youth for Climate Justice, create a 'livable future where we can all thrive.' "

  4. Doctor King did not leave room for misinterpretation of his #economicvision. In 1967, while addressing the board of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), he said:

    “The evils of #capitalism are as real as the evils of #militarism and #racism. The problems of #racialinjustice and #economicinjustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power”.

  6. Robin D.G. Kelley, a historian at UCLA whose scholarship on #RacialInjustice also landed him on the #ProfessorWatchlist, is struck by how rapidly our society has changed since #Trump took office a 2nd time.

    Kelley pointed to the fact that Trump was widely condemned during his first term when he called the #WhiteSupremacists who rallied in #Charlottesville, VA, “very fine people.”

  7. The photographs at issue showed a group of agents in a taking a knee during one of the demonstrations following the May 2020 killing of Floyd, a death that led to a national reckoning over policing & #RacialInjustice & sparked widespread anger after millions of people saw video of the arrest. The kneeling had angered some in the #FBI but was also understood as a possible de-escalation tactic during a period of #protests.

  12. Though the Civil Rights Act of 1964 officially ended racial discrimination in public places, relics of the Jim Crow era still haunt the South.

    An example: In Ellisville, Mississippi, 2 water fountains remain standing in front of the Jones County Courthouse.

    Even though the fountains don’t work, and the signs reading “white” and “colored have been covered, the subtle but discriminatory whisper of segregation remains.

  13. "What police shrug off as mistaken identity never takes into account how it feels for someone to be treated as a criminal, to face police guns drawn and pointed, or the vulnerability of having one’s hands cuffed behind their back."

    If this happened regularly to middle-class white people, radical police reform would have as much support as tax cuts.

  16. also, if you're a #contentCreator, please feel free to leave a reply on this thread with a brief summary about yourself and links to some of your content! my name is Cleo and I've been making videos online since the first year of YouTube's existence. my two main channels are #CeriGotGame, a very old one that is centered around #videoGames #cosplay and other nerdy stuff, and #toplessTopics "the channel that seeks to destigmatize female #toplessness through repeat exposure". Basically I do my videos nonsexually topless to try to normalize seeing "female looking nipples" (aka flagged by algorithms to ban as "sexually explicit nudity") outside of explicitly sexual situations, then use their attention to talk about issues important to me, like #feminism #lgbtq #houseless #racialInjustice #genderEquality #censorship #sexualEducation (discussed, not demonstrated!) and more.

    I'm also always looking for interesting people to interview, so please let me know if you might like to let me record your thoughts on a topic!

    most of my gaming stuff is here:
    m.youtube.com/c/cerigotgame
    m.twitch.tv/cerigotgame/videos

    while my #toplesstopics stuff is all over the place, as unfortunately I keep having to reupload it to different platforms. currently the uncensored (containing nonsexual female nipples) versions of my videos are on peertube:
    videos.trom.tf/c/toplesstopics
    and the censored versions (when I bother making them) are on YouTube:
    m.youtube.com/user/toplesstopi

    I also announce on my various social media accounts (including mastodon) when I post anything new: toplesstopics.org/contact

    if you're not sure where to start, I list some of what I consider my "best" videos here:
    toplesstopics.org/featured/
    and I have all my interviews, which are probably the most interesting things I've done so far, here:
    toplesstopics.org/interviews/

    (I also sometimes export just the audio of my videos as "podcast episodes" if you want something to listen to during your commute--so look up "Topless Topics" on the podcast platform of your choice if you like)

    Eager and hopeful to connect with other #contentCreators, about the subjects I cover or anything else, really!
