I enjoyed the detailed mapping of movements (global justice, anti-war, occupy, PSM, etc.), but not much mention of anti-fossil fuel extraction and other environmental justice movements in West Virginia (MTR coal mining),Texas (KXL), North Dakota (DAPL), Minnesota (line 3), Virginia (mountain valley pipeline) and Atlanta (cop city). There was significant links and overlaps between those campaigns, and camps in terms of ideology, strategy, tactics and people. Seems like a missing piece. Why is that?
Mainly due to the scope of the article, plus time and space. But honestly a bit of an oversight as well. I had to cut a thousand words in the end, so it would have been hard to add more. But I could have extended Laura Deeb's point about climate justice as a pathway to Palestine Solidarity struggles such as Greta Thunberg and Andreas Malm. I should have mentioned Stop Cop City, but there wasn't space for more than a mention.

Hi Arun. May I republish this in the online version of Left Turn, the magazine I edit?
I responded on Messenger.
I'm a little hurt that you didn't ask me, but I guess it's okay that you got it from Naomi Klein.
If you could have raised $10K like she did, I would have asked you first.
