Black Lives Matter and Climate Justice – Statement of Solidarity
We at Living Roots stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and Climate Justice, and recognise racism as a highly corrosive and chronic dynamic in our societies. We will continue (to seek) to address structural racism within our own organisation, to inform and educate ourselves and to process unconscious bias, privilege, oppression and internalised oppression in the context of social and environmental justice and love, in all of our facilitation with individuals and communities.
