a global theories. the attempts to understand and challenge the ideas that mobilize you around the world. today we meet to activists. he is different methods to push and lobby for change, whether it's direct action or engaging with the political system. they campaign or issues ranging from the climb emergency to migrate rights and the global arms trade mm hm. with fatima you born in canada, the somali parents grew up here in london. what planted the seed of actors and the what plan for the seed for me was growing up in the early 2, thousands of the backdrop of the iraq war. everywhere you look, media was talking about my firms and talking about people that looked like me. and i think that filled me with a lot of anger and kind of confusion and i became quite obsessed to politics if i

didn't engage in a policy was definitely engaged with me and my identity and setting the terms of i don't know about top and i think even familiar with the term climate crisis or climate emergency, but you spoken about climate justice. what do you mean when you talk about for a long time? we've talked about climate change as an environmental issue, right? but climate change is a symptom of a system breaking down and not working and responsible for a lot of other injustices. so whether we're talking about racial injustice, whether we're talking about the housing crisis, or inequality at the heart of it is an economy that prioritize is profit and profit for the few. and then is wondering, people are private. so we have the same companies who are responsible for the vast majority of emissions are also responsible for poor working conditions and low

wages. they're also responsible for not paying taxes and who has to pick up the bill people. so when we talk about climate justice, we talk about building a whole vision of the future. that means we can tackle other social injustices in the pursuit of talking to environment. people would say that there are many climate movements at the main the which are against the climate crisis. so where did you see a gap? the you organization green you do rising indian di rising. we haven't better than analysis of things with climate movement hasn't necessarily gotten right. one of them is no time limit for a long time, has been white and middle class. and we all know in order to beat something as big as climate change, we need everyone. and so how do we include everyone? what if we've built an economy that's the only priority was to serve foreign planet

. we would have an economy that invested in communities that built wealth for communities that lived within planetary boundaries because we're investing and renewables and public transport. and that's what we're doing at greenville rising as we're talking about the green new deal, which is an economic transformation that allows us to thrive in the future and tackle climate change. the other thing that's super different about what we're doing as for political or main tactic is to find m p 's and hold them accountable and tell to challenge them and to film them so that we have them on record. and when we put them on line, you know, it's up to the electorate to decide whether these people are for us and against us . there's not much in that we pay a fine on for he. one of our most popular challenges is when we challenge pretty patel, the former home secretary, who's passing upon to kind of offshore refugees and migrates to rwanda for processing. and we went to a fundraising dinner she was hosting and disrupt to dot that engage

with. and actually it wouldn't viral and i think a lot of people looked at it and ask themselves why a claim activists talking about migration. things like the rwanda plan are just a distraction to get us to be angry at migrants. people who just want better lives and opportunities instead of being angry at a political class that is just taking more and more from working people and giving us less than return it or your dad is probably still in your mom is rocky, but you were born and bred in the u. k. how did your family story and background shape would be? well, for my family, we were actually the only ones from both sides of the family to ever come west and

country. so most of my dad, somebody were living in georgia and i'm an exile, and all of my mom's family were living in iraq. so when you go up here, we have that kind of background. it's very difficult, not be politically aware. as a young guys and what was your 1st kind of experience of activism and doing the type of work the day? so i was researching into my university and i said, what divestment and sanctions campaign. i got many students and academics on board . and then later went on to replicate their other universities and this really laid the foundation for, for what later was formed as palestine action. ah, he held me a little bit about palestine action,

what lead to each one to start it. so how do i sound action is a direct action that what i main focus on? i mean, target is albert systems, which is the largest thompson. and specifically, it was started because all of the avenues to bring an embargo between britain had failed and 3 things through the political process through labor specifically which i was involved in. and when every other sales than divers auction was to be left open for us. so we started off by initially storming into that headquarters in london, stay francis, crossed our offices and kept going back again and again. and eventually more more people joins our, our network. so one of that master factories and all of them was supposed to sell, must have a loss and they were forced to abandon their limited headquarters. so as we want to continue to grow this movement until all of our sites are shut down in this country, can you explain why it's chosen for some elbow systems may produce the vast

majority of a military jo plate. and we've seen how this is used on the cups of population of gaza, routinely. they market them as battle tested or compact, proven, and then use cell onto a teams across the world. they've been used against the people of customer, for example, iraq, afghanistan, and many other places also against refugees here who are trying to seek safety in this country. they also build electronics for the apartheid wall. the same system is being used between us and mexico. so we can see how it starts off in palestine, and as it is used against other people across the world. can you explain exactly what risks you run yourself in order to carry this out? we were quite heavily targeted, i think at the start of palestine action, we saw that followed up by raise on our homes the the co found says include thing, arresting,

richard bernard's and of the co founder of black mound. i missed that. he said that he would go on hunger strike if the landlords did not fix al, but they did continue to charge several of us. that so f facing charges of blackmail conspiracy to commit some damage and to thursday to go. but guessing arrested is kind of part of the plan is not the end of the process, but i'd say in the court process itself is an extension of the action. and it's where we can try and force this company to basically give out information that they would not normally give out. but you are running a real risk and you know, get of going to prison. if this continues to operate more, more lives are going to be taken, and so i'm more than willing to accept this. and as a consequence, i will still be a lot better off than most people who have to you at the end of these lessons to kick things off. i just want to ask in the u. k,

we've gone through so many big changes. do you think that young people are disillusioned or do you think they are politically engaged? active, what's your opinion at the moment? i think both i think young people are disillusion, then i'm one of them. but we are also political. i think we're in this period. we're actually social activism and social movement. i've never been more active and imagine it's heavy, but it's the political elite. and you know, electoral politics that i think is once disillusioning young people because we have a electoral system in a voting system that a is not representative, but also with people with bold action. they want their economy to work for them in their communities. they want action on climate change, they want investment in our public services. the only reason we survived the pandemic were pete because of frontline service workers. i thought we all agreed during the pandemic, that those are the people that should be at the heart of our communities. they are

the people that we should be investing in. and the only reason it's bold action is because we still have in place political leaders who somehow haven't caught up with a consensus. the factors is that many young people are disillusioned with a political system, but i think are way more political than, than ever before. because the political system, i mean like whole politics has failed. so many people, i think, situation of call been in labor on a lot of young people into politics and they felt like that was very cool for teams . and when that didn't work for myself, at least i opened i to realizing that we cannot afford to invest our time into a system that wasn't design service. that doesn't mean that there isn't ways that we can be politically active and change our society through the grass roots rather than through appealing to the powers that be to create those changes for us. i mean, i would say that i don't see social movements being successful unless they have

a political weight. and so it's not about whole. so giving up on electoral ism or politics, it's about trying to use the power of social movements from the grassroots to kind of change and we see it happening around the world. actually in latin america, we're seeing the hopes of that sort of political wing of progress, the politics starting to take power. you know, if you look at chalet, for example, and while we had that defeat and 2019 with corbin's labor, i do see, you know, i'm pragmatic enough to see that there is another way into power. we just need to build stronger movements. i think the climate change, it may be slightly different and you're right, you do need a complete overhaul of the system which will require the state and the government to get behind that. but i think when it comes to m. c, imperialism and politics in support. the policy and people then tell me, call ben, with an exception. i believe what we've had for the past 100 years of successive governments. no politician in this country has ever shut down, and on that day,

whereas people have faith, if you'll leave and i'll quite young. they were founded around 2019, which was just before the table pandemic. and then, you know, we've had the war in ukraine when you look at all of those issues on the outside, how do you think they've impacted your work and what you're trying to achieve? so we started at an interesting time in 2019. it was a time where it was kind of the kind of activism around climate change. i don't think i've ever seen before. you had, you know, expects from rebellion. we had to climate strikers, you had the u. k. and now it's saying the 1st sort of 0 target by 2015 in the world . and then early in 2020, a pandemic came, people were suddenly talking about government intervention. we're talking about investment instead of austerity. we're talking about building back better, not going back to the economy, pretty pandemic. and coming out of the pandemic, we have the korean war, which puts dressers across europe,

particularly on energy supply. and what we thought was the u. k announced new north sea oil and gas, and that's put us in a really difficult position because investing a new fossil fuel infrastructure doesn't help us meet our meet our energy needs now . and it doesn't lower energy builds, but also just put us in perpetual crisis because the climate crisis is not going anywhere. who the id feel about all of the big events that had happened recent years and how that directly impacting what you're doing. yes or for some context we launched at the end of july 2020 and then in may 2021. this is when we saw a beautiful assault and people gaza people paying for homes and and jerusalem. and we saw a massive increase and people following and joining palestine action and supporting the cause during that time. and there was a factory for activity, had climbed onto the top of the reef, all that factory in lester, and live in

a couple of hours. hundreds from the local community came out, support those activities, and then we saw the fire service pull out and says and refuse and said the police that we will not remove these tow testers. so for as it was about going straight to these arms companies, specifically albert systems and bypassing the political process. and that strategy also exposed the fact that this company exists here. because many arms companies, they kind of hides in plain sight in these factories and industrial towns that you wouldn't know what was between that one. the one next door which bills toys for children. and we found it to be extremely successful. well as before, we had never seen that type of success and forcing the closure of israeli arms factories in this country 2022. so people across the u. k, they think touring in place and, and

a rapidly rising cost of living prices. that thought process and strike in one industry after another. what are we still trying to work as the doctors and lawyers? so i want to know what base if you think about how far it is that you should be able to go in terms of getting your point across. and i think it's different for different movements. so for the change is that bread and butter in order for them to gain their right to my salary, the device of a to serve as work has, then it's necessary for them to the through ups the train line. i think palestine action is quite different though to odds extinction. volume's tactics mainly because expansion volume must focus on the sub thing at the public as a whole, as a way of forcing pressure on the government. in order to enact that, the, the radical change needs on the climate. where was for rise, we are more focused on directly disrupting the companies which are producing

weapons. so there was less impact on the public. i was just, i just had that arguably, palestine action goes a step further than extinction, rebellion smashing up the conference rooms causing damage to the property. so how do you justify that? well, when, where it's matching up an alms company, where stopping their ability to produce weapons. and i think many people would agree that you cannot put a price on one human life. you can put a price on a window or a, a factory or a reef, for example. and that should never come at the cost of human life. if you saw a child with a human being about to be her and you had to knock down at all in order to help them knock out the door down without hesitation. and that's exactly the same principle. do you have anything that you had at it? yeah, absolutely, i am a student of social movements and we often are taught

a white washed version of whether it's martin luther king or gandhi, or the women's rights movements. huge parts of those movements took direct action that really did stop daily life going on for people or politicians. and so we're going to made movements that take a variety of different actions and the fact that we're in a day and age where we think striking workers removing their labor as being extreme . well, who said we have a right over their labor, right? if we're not creating a conditions that are fair for them to work and why should bay knock down their tools? and so i've been really inspired to see the union leaders that have been on our televisions, articulating the fears and hopes of ordinary working people ah, in 2022, the u. k. government cruelty legislation to combat heat you as disruptive, protect now, and you probably ought to bill going through parliament wants to introduce even

hall to rule. we will also increase the maximum penalty for disruption a motorway criminalized interference with key infrastructure such as rows, railways and our free press and gives the please. i'm the coolest new powers. it's not a human rights to dont realize property. it's not mine. freedom of expression to protest . finally, no, you can't just start a riot or glue yourself to the road and get away with it. quitting who these makers of great longstanding democratic freedom, the government that they are needed because recent protest by a minority of active, it have been dangerous draining public funds and diverting police resources. what do you think about these new knows and bills in the effect they'll have and do you think it will impact the way you move forward? i think people embracing for a long time, you to thank authoritarianism, was the domain of certain countries when actually you know, britain has exercised around the world for

a long time and now and here at home and trying to curtail protest on one side. it shows that we're being impactful because actually the, the government is needing to legislate on specific types of protests. on the other hand, i think a lot of people are worried. i've just seen in spaces when we're talking about protests and thinking about the type of actions that we are planning these bills factor written they factor into who's willing to take these actions. it is an incredibly hostile moment for our movements, but this is the moment we can let them win because it becomes the new norm. and then therefore, we're unable to sort of call back and he writes, if we let that become something that's accepted and are you running, those are already are running the risk of things and present. and how do you feel about all of this happening? because a lot of our tactics are already based around direct action i'm already criminalized . the new bills are factors that much, but actually the more they try and repress i'm put on new laws and new bells. i

think the more people actually move towards more radical types of actions we saw recently and to mana k, protest people getting arrested for just shouting slogans like who elected them if you can face arrest for that, then why don't get arrested for shutting down and arms company, i think that what they are, what they've done is going to end up back lashing and help movements work. the government says that these bills are necessary because guerrilla tactics used by small minority of pretest, as of course, disproportionate impact on the hardworking majority seeking to go about the everyday life. what you make the argument we looked at for the breakdown, the climate, and in order to get the message across the board into a situation where that falls into blocking the general public, then it's for the great tickets. i think when people take more drastic action, it's in response and wrong and blaming those activists. we have to blame the

government who didn't act fast. just to be kind of illuminate a bit more we did. we did an action over the summer where we disrupted the hustings of the conservative party who were trying to choose their new leader. and i disrupted the speech of list. you should see the, her reaction in that moment as i was being dragged away was i will make sure that militant activists such as extinction rebellion and not able to disrupt the ordinary people who what caused do the right thing again and what they want to create a situation where the government of the day decides what they think is fair, what they like. who are the good guys who are the bad guys? democratic societies don't work like that. democratic societies are one that allow for there to be debate that allows for people to have different opinions for people to organize and help determine that their future. and we're slowly sort of walking

away from that kind of society into one that's governed by a few. if you could take a step back and imagine the world that you want to see, what is it that you want to see the future that you live in the u. k. i one a, a future where we a, have a sort of democratic grenade on some people are able to be involved in decision making. and that decisions as a society are based on what benefit people benefit planner over profit. you know, with the timeline of climate change while it's gary, i think we have opportunity in this window to make sure that the way that we tackle the climate crisis is the one that has justice. that it's hard. but there is a risk, right? i think governments will find a way to tackle climate change, but it's not secure that they're going to do it in a way that's fair. i think everyone now believes climate change exists in the mainstream, the fighters over how we tackle it. and we want to make sure we tackle it in

a way that protects our communities whereby you had, i mean, your future might involve time in prison. but if you were going to imagine that the assets you were going to pay off, how would it look? well, i think the obvious 1st $1.00 would be and i'm to is as arms trade and return. i've heard from many people or rather glad as linda wells largest export of some of a tiny islands. and so, so much roots back to head. so i think last year must have overhauled the whole industry and for that kind of thinking and tactics to be transported to other countries. and then i believe, you know, hopefully even lifetime we can see if we palestine before that's happened. we need functions and the government's going to do it. so the people how to do it themself at fatima. thank you so much for speaking with me today.
