Open Letter from the Climate Movement: We stand in solidarity with Palestinians in their struggle for liberation

3 ديسمبر، 2023

Worldwide

This open letter is a starting point for the climate movement to develop principled solidarity with Palestine that connects climate justice with the struggles of colonized peoples worldwide.

We, as groups who organise for climate justice, stand in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for liberation and condemn the ongoing genocide in Gaza. This assault on Gaza is just one symptom of the wider Israeli settler-colonial project. The people of Gaza have made three simple requests of the international community: to share the truth, to call for an immediate ceasefire, and to pressure Western governments into breaking ties with Israel. We respond to this call by highlighting the interconnectedness of our struggles and the centrality of decolonisation to climate justice. We view this open letter as a starting point for the climate movement to develop principled solidarity with Palestine that connects climate justice with the struggles of colonised peoples worldwide.1
