  This. Extinction Rebellion is already being co-opted for unrelated issues. > We demand a just transition that prioritizes the most vulnerable people and indigenous sovereignty; establishes reparations and remediation led by and for Black people, Indigenous people, people of color and poor communities Their demands are somewhat nonsensical IMO: https://extinctionrebellion.us/ https://extinctionrebellion.us/ > We do not trust our Government to make the bold, swift and long-term changes necessary to achieve these changes and we do not intend to hand further power to our politicians. Instead we demand a Citizens’ Assembly to oversee the changes, as we rise from the wreckage, creating a democracy fit for purpose. They don’t trust the nebulous “government” and demand a group be placed into power by citizens. So...a representative democracy? Like the one they’ve failed to gain support within (to the extent they demand anyways)?

    Those are absolutely not unrelated, in issues from Amazon logging to the Dakota pipeline to Nigerian oil.

    I hate this blatant racism of the PC people.
