#Patricia's likely the effect of increased climate change. Climate change that poor Mexicans are not responsbile for, but will have to bear.4 replies 74 retweets 39 likes -

This is climate justice 101: Why is it that, time and time again, the people least culpable for climate change are those worst hit by it?

Why is it that, when hurricanes strike poor people of color, white tourists are a constant focus? Why center whiteness and cast aside color?

This is why it's important to talk about climate change in terms of race: social inequities always map themselves onto communities of color.

That's why we should be thinking about climate inequities, too. And we can't do that without considering history.

The same people who will be most protected from climate change are most protected because of their wealth. Where did that wealth come from?

Time and time again, we find that that wealth was generated by destroying the earth and some of its darker peoples.

In fact, it's easier to think about
#Patricia by connecting history, wealth, climate, and race. It's harder to make it disjointed.1 reply 18 retweets 16 likes
The same should be said for every environmental story you come across. That oil refinery? Yeah, of course it's in a community of color.

Yet over and over again, race is suspended when we think about the environment in general. This needs to end. Our lives depend on it.

Pay attention to the way
#Patricia is already being framed. And pay attention to how you think about it. Race will matter here. A lot.2 replies 38 retweets 32 likes - 1 more reply
