Sunday's Climate & Energy Rally was a simple yet powerful demonstration of the wisdom, compassion and strength of this community.
It was a great reminder that, no matter where the chips fall this weekend, there will always be people ready to stand up and speak out against the injustices facing nature, climate and vulnerable communities.
From Greenwashing to Real Eco-Social Justice: A Social Worker’s Perspective in Townsville

By Social Workers for Climate Action & Eco-Social Advocates
Environmental crises are not separate from social crises - they are deeply interconnected. As a social worker in Townsville, we see how climate change, biodiversity loss, extractivism, and social inequality collide in the lives of people and ecosystems.Rather than focusing only on "climate change," we advocate for an eco-social justice approach: one that recognises the interdependence of human and non-human life and the need for systemic, structural change.
