Auckland chapter of New Zealand’s School Strike 4 Climate group admits racism and disbands
The chapter of the international movement said it was a ‘racist, white-dominated space’
A large part of New Zealand’s School Strike 4 Climate movement has formally disbanded, saying it had been racist and insufficiently responsive to activists of colour.
In a Facebook post, the movement’s chapter in Auckland said it had “avoided, ignored and tokenised BIPOC [Black, Indigenous and people of colour] voices and demands” and that it had been “a racist, white-dominated space”.
