Open Democracy - Coronavirus and climate activism: five common lessons
Article written by a member of the XR Boston Media team, Nadia Colburn.
"No one wants to think of one crisis in the middle of another, but it’s exactly now, when we see first hand how quickly things can change, that it’s time to think about crisis preparedness in general. As the coronavirus pandemic unfolds, the work of climate activists can help us respond to this moment - just as this moment is a critical learning period for future climate crises."
