Natasha is a 24-year-old, Black and White Afro-Caribbean Labour Councillor in Sefton, North Liverpool. She is a freelance educator for Show Racism the Red Card, the UK’s leading anti-racism education charity. She is part of the Liverpool Climate Coalition and has been involved with various youth environmental and anti-racism campaigns. Her main focus is on making the connection between the climate crisis with historic and systemic racism and power. Natasha is a currently a PhD student researching Over-policing and vulnerability in minoritised communities at the University of York.
“Now more than ever, it is crucial that we make the connection between systemic racism and the lack of urgency that the global north has towards the climate crisis. We must tackle the systems of oppression that allow many to turn a blind eye to the destruction global north corporate greed is causing. We must take a restorative approach towards the climate crisis, which creates a new world over where human life and community is valued over economic growth and greed. We have an opportunity to create a caring and compassionate world that gives reparations to the global south and allows us to rethink the way we live our day-to-day lives for the sake of humanity. People of colour, indigenous peoples need to be at the center and the forefront of this movement. climate justice needs to be social and racial justice.”
