What should white people do?

from The Sound of Black and Brown · host Black and Brown United in Action

Should we still care about what is happening in Florida? And what does anything happening in Florida have to do with climate change? Speaking at an oil rig site on Wednesday in Midland, Texas, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis unveiled his energy plan for the U.S. if he is elected president, saying he would focus on building up American "dominance" while seeking to undo the policies of President Joe Biden's administration.According to the Time magazine “Florida is a bellwether for the rest of the nation; the surge water rise that besets Miami today will, soon enough, beset states ranging from California to New York. The state, of necessity, should be a leader in U.S. climate resiliency. But rather than acknowledge a crisis and build out a holistic approach to climate change, Florida, led by Governor Ron DeSantis, denies the urgency and applies a hodge-podge of contradictory initiatives designed for short-term applause.” #PoorPeopleFedUp #Racism#SystemicRacism #CivilRights #WhitePrivilege #NoJusticeNoPeace #FacingRacism #BlatantRacism #NormalizedRacism Please continue to like and share and check us out here https://linktr.ee/blackbrownunitedinaction your solidarity is greatly appreciated 🫵🏽✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿!
