S2:E33 (Full Version) - THE CRITICAL ROLE OF CLIMATE ACTIVISTS
Listen now
Description
Today we are bringing you a very special and valuable discussion with two incredible young climate activists: Raeesah Nor Mohamed from South Africa Hussein Ali Ghandour from Lebanon Over the past few years, you've seen an uptick in protests, marches, and demonstrations from incredible people like Raeesah and Hussein from all over the world.  At COP26 in Glasgow, over 100,000 activists made their way outside the event to demonstrate and push for more decisive action from world leaders. But have you had the chance to actually talk to them?  To understand what motivates them to give everything they have to this issue? To sacrifice so much?  To listen to their message?  To step into their shoes even for a moment?  Well today you do. Because Raeesah and Hussein have been kind enough to join us. I encourage you to share this episode with friends and family so they too can hear the perspectives they probably don't often get to hear, especially from uniquely challenging places in the world such as South Africa & Lebanon. And please go and follow and support them both online if you can! Raeesah on Instagram is @pure.rae.of.sunshinee and on Twitter she is @raeesahnm Hussein on Twitter is @ghandour567 Raeesah also wanted us to share a link to the Climate Justice Charter, so I encourage you all to check it out. https://www.safsc.org.za/climate-justice-charter/ --------------------------------------- From now through the end of the year, all the great merch at Animalia is 20% off.  All sustainably made with details in the product descriptions, as well as every item sharing between 20 and 65% of profits with non-profit partners fighting to protect life on this planet.  Go to shop.joinanimalia.com to get yours today!
