      Many Somalians immigrated to other places (including the US) to escape life-threatening and harsh conditions. As immigrants without much access to money, in a new culture with a new language, they are particularly vulnerable to the treatment they are speaking out against. 5/

      That's why solutions to the climate crisis “must be rooted in recognition that exploitation of people and resources from slavery, colonialism, imperialism, neoliberalism and climate is one continuous arc of sacrificing the Global South to enrich the West.” ~ @chilledasad100 8/

      Amazon is actively helping fossil fuel companies expand and accelerate oil and gas extraction. In 2019. When the science is clear: to avert catastrophic warming, we *must* keep oil and gas in the ground.

          Even if there weren’t such a clear climate connection to our co-workers struggle in MN, I’d still be very happy to lend my support and stand in solidarity with the MN warehouse workers. As a fellow worker, but also as a human being. 14/

          As the climate crisis accelerates, it will bear down on more and more of us, more and more harshly. We need to take care of and support one another. Solidarity with my co-workers in MN, who are striking on Prime Day for humane working conditions! 💜💜✊💪 /END

          I made a couple of errors in how I referred to people who are from Somalia: It's “Somalis,” not “Somalians.” Thank you for the correction, @webnetdotonline!https://twitter.com/webnetdotonline/status/1150814746653990912 …

          Thanks for these tweets! Just FYI, it’s “Somalis,” not “Somalians.” The language/culture is also called Somali, without the -“an” suffix.
