In her words
I practice hope every day... in a world that feeds off of despair, hope is a radical tool for change.Disha RaviFeminist, climate, and environmental activist
I have seen the rise of the youth movement to fight against the climate crisis, the immense people power uniting everyone regardless of differences. I strongly believe in the power of community; I don’t think we can achieve anything without a community.Disha RaviFeminist, climate, and environmental activist
One thing I'll never stop doing is speaking truth to power.Disha RaviFeminist, climate, and environmental activist
The people I work with in the environmental and climate movement inspire me because it’s a movement that loves radically and practices hope every day in a world that is constantly destroying the planet.Disha RaviFeminist, climate, and environmental activist
Climate justice means...
Climate justice is about intersectional equity. It’s acknowledging that no human is “lesser than” and ensuring that no one gets left behind, it’s about creating systems that put the people, planet and its inhabitants first. I want to see gender justice activism address the intersections of climate and gender.
