A network of grassroots movements, groups and organisations is calling for a Week of Action for Social and Climate Justice during the week May 20-26. The start and end dates for the week are somewhat flexible so things happen both a little before and a little after that.
Last year, the Week of Action for Social and Climate Justice brought together 120 organizations in over 30 locations around Sweden. During the first action week in September 2023, over 150 registered activities were carried out - and more actions in addition to that.
The network behind the Week of Action for Social and Climate Justice was created at the initiative of activists who wanted to see a more intersectional, broadened and united movement.
The organizers encourage all people who care for life on Earth, their own and everyone else’s, to participate in the action week’s various activities. We also encourage organizations – solidarity networks, school classes, action groups, sports associations, grassroots movements, trade unions and groups from all parts of society – to organize their own actions, strikes, workshops, civil disobedience actions, mass demonstrations, lectures, art projects, social events and so on. Everyone is invited to find their way of acting.
The action week draws attention to the fact that social justice and climate justice are closely connected.
The network is based on intersectional core values that were developed in the spring of 2023 by the groups in the network.
These core values are based, among other things, on anti-racism, feminism and ecological justice perspectives. We work together in a non-partisan network that accommodates a diversity of democratic, responsible and non-violent methods.
Does your group want to register an event during the week? Everyone who stands behind our shared core values is welcome to join the network and plan activities and actions within the framework of the Week of Action. Get in touch at the email address below if you are interested in joining.
In Sweden, amongst other groups the following movements and organisations are involved: Fridays For Future, People For Future, refugees rights groups, Extinction Rebellion, faith groups, Mothers’ Rebellion, Amnesty, Greenpeace and many more.
