edit: I was unaware that the area I’m hanging in is also Qayqayt territory. It hasn’t been easy to put this video together in under 24 hours while in a tree – so I apologize for that, and any other mistakes.

International Organizations:
Extinction Rebellion
350.org
Sunrise Movement
School Strikes 4 Climate
