Ngathi.

Iintliziyo zethu zisixelela ukuba ilizwe elahlukileyo linokwenzeka. Umbono wethu wotshintsho ubanzi ngokwaneleyo kangangokuba unokuqulatha izimvo ezahlukeneyo malunga nokuba yeyiphi na indlela efanelekileyo yokusebenzela ukutshintsha: "Ilizwe elisempilweni, elihle, apho kuxhaswa khona ubuqu kunye nobuchule, nalapho abantu basebenzisana, ukusombulula iingxaki nokufumana intsingiselo, ngesibindi, amandla nothando. Oku kuya kuxhaswa ziinkcubeko ezendeleyo ukuhlonipha indalo, inkululeko yokwenene nobulungisa. "

Utshintsho olufunekayo lukhulu kwaye luyenzeka. Akukho lawulo kwinkulungwane yama-20 olwazileyo ukuma ngokuchasene novukelo olwaluthathe inxaxheba ukuya kuthi ga kwi-3.5% yabemi (jonga [intetho kaErica Chenoweth yeTEDx] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSehRlU34w) ). Siyavuma ukuba siphakathi kwengxaki enkulu, ekunokuba nzima ukuyiqonda nokujongana nayo. Sijongene nokutshatyalaliswa kweentlobo zeentlobo ezi-6 kwaye asithathi manyathelo alungileyo okuthintela impucuko yethu kwezona meko zoyikekayo zotshintsho lwemozulu. Ihlabathi alilingani ngokunzulu, ngobutyebi kunye namandla okugxininisa kugxile kwincinci encinci. Sineengxaki kwimpilo yethu yengqondo neyomzimba, kubandakanya abantwana bethu, esekwe ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo zokungondleki kunye nendawo enetyhefu. Siphila nesoyikiso sobhubhane ecaleni kokungaphumeleli kwintsholongwane. Inkqubo yethu yezemali imiselwe enye ingxaki enkulu kunale yokugqibela. Kukho inkcubeko yelizwe jikelele yokoyisa "abanye", yokhuphiswano, yokuziphindezela kunye nobunqolobi.

Siyaqonda ukuba umsebenzi wethu unokuba mbalwa malunga "nokusindisa umhlaba" kunye nokuninzi malunga nokuzama ukuphucula ukomelela kwethu njengoko izinto ezininzi zisenzeka. Sijolise kakhulu kutshintsho olubonakalayo:

Idemokhrasi esebenzayo, apho abantu banayo iarhente yokwenyani ekuthathweni kwezigqibo. Oku kungabandakanya ukunikezelwa kwamandla kwelona nqanaba likufutshane ebantwini nasekuhlaleni, kunye nemibutho yokuququzelela ukwenziwa kwezigqibo ekuhlaleni, kwingingqi, kuzwelonke nakumazwe aphesheya, apho kufanelekileyo.

• Uqoqosho olwenzelwe ukwandisa impilo-ntle yabo bonke abantu kunye nokunciphisa ukwenzakalisana, izidalwa esisebenza kunye nazo kunye neplanethi yethu yekhaya. Sifuna imigaqo-nkqubo kunye nemithetho efezekisa ukulingana okukhulu, imveliso yangaphakathi, ukunciphisa ukusetyenziswa, zero ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kunye nenkunkuma.
• Ukudala inkcubeko yokuzihlaziya. Singaqala ukwenza oko ngoku! (Jonga 3. Apha ngezantsi kwaye ungene ngaphakathi).

Singagxila kwiimpawu zale nkqubo inetyhefu, ukanti sikwathatha amathuba ukubonisa ukuba utshintsho lwenkqubo epheleleyo luyafuneka. Sijolise kwiintsika ezigcina inkqubo yangoku yenkululeko.

• Ityala kunye nenzala esekwe kwicandelo lezemali.
• Idemokhrasi eyinkohliso nebolayo.
• Imithombo yeendaba ibanjiwe kwimidla yabantu abaxhaphazayo abazizityebi kunye neenkampani.

Inkcubeko yokuzihlaziya yabantu isempilweni, yomelele kwaye iyakwazi ukuziqhelanisa; ukhathalele iplanethi kwaye ukhathalele nobomi ekwazini ukuba le yeyona ndlela isebenzayo yokwenza ikamva eliqaqambileyo loluntu lonke. Inkcubeko yokuzihlaziya ithetha ukuphucula unyaka nonyaka, ukuthatha amanyathelo amancinci okuphilisa kunye nokuphucula, nakuwo onke amanqanaba, kubandakanya abantu, uluntu, umhlaba wethu, amanzi nomoya. Ngaphezulu kokuba sisinxibelelanisi "samatshantliziyo", sifuna ukufumana iindlela zobukho kunye nokwenza inkxaso yenkqubela phambili elungileyo. Oku kungabandakanya umsitho kunye nomthandazo (ngeendlela ezinganyanzelekanga okanye ezingalindelekanga) njengeefomathi zokufumana inkuthazo kwizinto ezinkulu kunathi. Kufuneka siphinde sixhumane nothando lwethu ngeziqu zethu, ilizwe lethu kunye nabantu bethu kunye nabamelwane bethu ngokubanzi; abantu kunye nehlabathi lendalo.

Inkcubeko yokuvuselela ibandakanya ukugxila okusempilweni kwiindidi ezixhasayo:. Ukuzinakekela: sizikhathalela njani iimfuno zethu kunye nokuchacha kwethu kule nkqubo inetyhefu. Ukhathalelo lwamanyathelo: indlela esikhathalelana ngayo ngelixa sithatha amanyathelo ngokuthe ngqo kunye nokungathobeli eluntwini kunye. -Ukhathalelo lomntu: indlela esibunyamekela ngayo ubudlelwane esinabo, sinika ingqalelo kwindlela esibuchaphazela ngayo abanye, sithatha uxanduva kwicala lethu lobudlelwane. Ukhathalelo loluntu-silukhathalela njani uphuhliso lwethu njengothungelwano kunye noluntu, ukomeleza unxibelelwano lwethu kunye nokunamathela kule migaqo kunye neenqobo ezisemgangathweni. Abantu kunye nokunakekelwa kwePlanethi - indlela esibajonga ngayo uluntu lwethu ngokubanzi kunye nomhlaba osigcina sonke.

Imalunga nobudlelwane. Ubudlelwane bethu neziqu zethu kunye neembali zobuqu, ubudlelwane bethu nento esilwa nayo, ubudlelwane bethu nabanye abantu imihla ngemihla, kunye nolwalamano lwethu njengeqela-ezi zixhomekeke ngokupheleleyo. Ukuzikhathalela kukwajongana nokunakekelwa kwamalungu ezilwanyana aphendula ngokwendalo kwiimeko zoxinzelelo ngokulwa okanye ukubhabha okanye ukuphelelwa ngamandla.

Sinoxanduva lokungathobeli le nkqubo etshabalalisa ubomi emhlabeni kwaye ayilunganga kwaphela. Abanye bethu baya kwenza amanyathelo avulekileyo ("ngaphezulu komhlaba") abeka emngciphekweni wokubanjwa kunye neerhafu. Ubungqina bucebisa ukuba ukungathobeli okuvulekileyo kuluntu kunye nokuthatha amanyathelo ngokuthe ngqo kubalulekile ukuba kutshintshwe (Jonga umzekelo ubungqina kwiCounterPower nguTim Gee kwaye Olu luVukelo luka-Engler kunye no-Engler). Akunyanzelekanga okanye kufunwa ukuba wonke umntu enze oku, njengoko abanye bekho izizathu ezifanelekileyo zokuba (sicela wonke umntu ukuba athathe ixesha lokucaca kwiimeko zakhe, uloyiko kunye nezizathu apha). Ngokubalulekileyo, inkcubeko yethu yokuVukela ngokuBulala kufuneka ixhase abo kuthi bazimisele ukuzibeka emgceni ngale ndlela - zininzi iindima zenkxaso eziluncedo kwaye kufuneka senze ukuba ubuncinci i-3% yabemi ukuba bathathe inxaxheba. Siza kuziqhelanisa nenkcubeko yokhuseleko ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba lokuba sikwazi ukwenza amanyathelo acwangciswe ngaphandle kokungeniswa ngaphambi kokuba agqitywe. Nangona kunjalo ukungathobeli kwethu eluntwini kunye nezenzo ngokuthe ngqo kukukhanya okugcweleyo koluntu, abaququzeleli bayayamkela imingcipheko abayithathayo, kwaye sikhuphe "inkcazo eyimfuneko" kwi-Intanethi malunga nokuba kutheni sikholelwa ukuba isenzo sethu silungile. Nangona kunjalo asikuko nje ukuba phaya kwaye sithathe inyathelo, kufuneka sisebenzise yonke imiba yenkcubeko yokuvuselela kwaye sithathe ixesha lokucinga ukuba ingaba le nto siyenzayo iyasebenza na. Sinokukufumana kunzima ukuba sigxile kwezinye izinto zalo msebenzi, kubandakanya ukuzikhathalela kunye nokujongana. Kunokubakho ukutsala ukwenza into elandelayo, ukuba "usebenze", kodwa oku kungakhokelela ekutshisweni.

Kukho ixabiso kuthi elenza utshintsho kubomi bethu ukubonisa utshintsho olufunekayo, njengokutshintsha izidlo zethu, apho siya khona ngeholide njalo njalo (nangona uxanduva lomntu lunokugqithiswa kwaye lusekwe, ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba elithile, kwilungelo) . Kuyo yonke le mingeni sicela indawo, umonde kunye nokuzimisela ukuzama izinto ezintsha ukubona ukuba ziyazixhasa iinjongo zethu.

Siyabulela kwaye siyabathanda abo bazimisele ukuthatha amanyathelo "angaphantsi komhlaba" okanye "okufihlakeleyo" ukulwela okusingqongileyo kunye nobulungisa kwezentlalo, nakwezinye iimeko. Ukucaciswa, kunye nokhuseleko lwabo baququzelela i-Extinction Rebellion kubalulekile ukuba sicace gca ukuba onke amanyathelo athathwe egameni le-Extinction Rebellion "aphezu komhlaba," okt ukuba athathwe evulekileyo kwaye akukho manyathelo angaphantsi komhlaba athathiweyo. njengoMvukelo wokuQotywa.

Asazi ukuba izinto ziya kutshintsha njani ukuze sikulungele ukuzama kwaye sifunde kwinto esiyenzayo. Ngokuqhubeka nokubuza imibuzo, sicamngce kwaye sifunde malunga noko kusebenze kwenye indawo siya kuphucula into esiyenzayo kwaye singabambeki ekuziphatheni okuphindaphindwayo. Le yinkqubo esebenzayo neqhubekekayo, efuna ixesha negalelo lomntu ngamnye kunye namaqela ukuba acinge malunga noko kuhambe kakuhle kwaye kutheni, kungcono ukuba kwenziwe ngokwahlukileyo.

Njengombutho sizibophelele ekukhankaseni ilungelo lobomi, nakwikamva labantwana bethu nakwiplanethi. Siyaqonda ukuba ukuze sitshintshe umhlaba, kufuneka sitshintshe indlela esicinga ngayo kwaye sakhe ubudlelwane nabo sisebenzisana nabo kunye nathi. Umhlaba okwangoku uchazwa zii-hierarchies ezininzi zobuhlanga, udidi, isini, isini, njl.njl. Kwaba baphantsi ezantsi, uninzi lwehlabathi aluyondawo ikhuselekileyo. Ukudala iindawo ezikhuselekileyo kufuneka sisebenze ngokuzimisela ukuze siqhubeke sakha ukuqonda ukuba zisebenza njani ezi hierarchies, ukuze sibacele umngeni kwaye sakhe ukubandakanywa ngokwenza iindawo zethu zifikeleleke ngakumbi. Ke ngoko, ukuze intshukumo yethu ikhuseleke kuye wonke umntu, kufuneka ikhuseleke kwabona bahlelelekileyo.

Lo mthetho-siseko ubandakanya ukuzibophelela ekwenzeni iindawo ezikhuselekileyo zokuxhasa ukubandakanywa. Yinjongo yethu ukuba wonke umntu amkelwe ngaphandle kokukhetha ubuhlanga, ubuhlanga, udidi, isini, isazisi, ukubonisa ngokwesini, isini, ubudala, umvuzo, amandla, imfundo, inkangeleko, inqanaba lokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe, inkolelo okanye ukungakholelwa kunye namava omzabalazo Wonke umntu ekuhambeni unoxanduva lokudala kunye nokugcina iindawo ezikhuselekileyo, ezinobubele kunye nokwamkela. Abantu abatsha kulo mbutho kufuneka bamkelwe ngokucacileyo. Isiqalo esilula kukulandela le migaqo iphambili.

Ubundlobongela ngokwasemzimbeni okanye ukukhuthaza ubundlobongela kwabanye akwamkelekanga. Ukuziphatha okucalucalulayo, ulwimi okanye indlela yokuziphatha ebonisa ukongamela ngokobuhlanga, isini, ulwa-semitism, islamophobia, homophobia, ukwazi, ucalucalulo ngokodidi, ucalucalulo malunga nobudala kunye nazo zonke ezinye iindlela zengcinezelo kubandakanya nolwimi oluhlukumezayo kwabanye abantu, nokuba kukwenzekile okanye kwenye indawo, ayisiyiyo yamkelwe nokuba yeyasemzimbeni okanye kwi-Intanethi.

Siyaqonda ukuba singabantu abantsonkothileyo kwaye sibonisa iindawo ezininzi ezahlukeneyo ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo nakwiimeko ezahlukeneyo. Umzekelo, ngamanye amaxesha sinokuba nenkathalo, ngamanye amaxesha sigwebe, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha singakhathali. Ezinye zezo ndawo ziyinxalenye yethu esivuyayo ukuzisa, kwaye ezinye zezo ndawo ziyinxalenye esilwa nayo, okanye mhlawumbi ungazi nokuba zikhona de ziveze. Ngolu lwazi, sijongana sisuka kwindawo enovelwano, kwaye sikhuthazana ukuba sandise ukuziqonda kwethu.

The ground on which this network stands is on the relationships between its participants. We will work every day to build trust, respect and reciprocity among all of us. We assume all members to have good intentions and will react against disrespect. We use conflict resolution techniques to deal with conflict in a healthy way that will bring growth to our movement. We ground our work in dialogue, healing, collective transformation and justice. We won’t tolerate shaming of each other or bullying in any form. This requires us to be honest and clear with ourselves and each other; we all hold prejudices and biases, and these must be acknowledged rather than dwelled upon negatively. It is everyone’s responsibility to change destructive habits and behaviours.

We recognise that our world as it stands is currently structured by various intersecting hierarchies based on class, race, gender, sexuality, (dis)ability and so on. As such each person’s experience is shaped by their position within these various social hierarchies. For instance, being a black woman one encounters different forms of oppression to a white woman, because of how race and gender combine and compound to shape experiences.

Whilst we aim to live in a world where these hierarchies no longer exist, we cannot simply pretend that they don’t within our own network. For this reason we aim to centre voices that are normally the most marginalised, by allowing space for them to speak and encouraging those who normally wouldn’t to take leadership / coordination positions. This isn’t about deciding ‘who is the most oppressed’, it’s about consciously making space for the people who have to fight the most to be heard, recognised and respected.

In practical terms this means:

• We weight coordinating roles towards marginalised groups.
• Our media messaging includes issues and voices that are normally ignored (e.g. the link between climate change and immigration detention centres). However we are mindful of not trying to speak on someone else’s behalf.
• Accessibility is important (in terms of child care, wheelchair access, not speaking in technical jargon), both for meetings and actions.
• We recognise that oppressive behaviours are socially embedded within us, and privileged people are asked to commit to questioning their privilege and to be open to being challenged.
• We refresh those who hold positions of responsibility so that power doesn’t get entrenched.
• We embed anti-oppressive practice into our training materials.
• Our strategy is focussed on doing the work it takes to forge genuine alliances with the grass roots movements of the people who are most marginalised.
• We also recognise that sometimes people make mistakes, misjudgements and missteps, and we seek to avoid humiliating exposure when it is clear that an issue needs to be raised and dealt with.

Having a database, social media and a website; fundraising for meetings, etc, means that there is inevitably a centralisation of some power. To mitigate any power issues that can arise we have an Anchor Circle, whose role is transparent and into which there is a process for people to rotate in and out.

Thinking about these questions is encouraged: If you always do a role, is it possible to train someone else to do it? If someone else is taking leadership on a role, can you learn from them so that you can step in? Can you challenge yourself to take on a more upfront role if this is something you don’t usually do? Do you take time to learn about power and privilege? Do you have an understanding of how the power and privilege you hold has an effect on other people and the movement you are part of?

Ukugxeka kunye neentloni akusayi kusinceda ekuhambeni kwexesha. Ngelixa iphulo elithile linokufuna ukuqaqambisa indima eyonakalisayo edlalwe liziko, kubandakanya nabantu abasebenza kwelo ziko, indawo yethu yokuqala kukuba siphila kwinkqubo eyityhefu eye yonakalisa wonke umntu. Singabonisa indlela yokuziphatha engancediyo, exhaphazayo okanye ephethe gadalala, kwaye asizukuyinyamezela loo nto, ukanti asilugqithisi uthando lwethu okanye amandla ngokubeka ityala nokuhlazisa. Oku kuyinyani nakwindlela esinxibelelana ngayo kunye neqela elinamandla kunye nolwalamano lwethu neziqu zethu.

Silwamkela utshintsho oludala ubunye kwiyantlukwano; Kufuneka silungise ubudlelwane phakathi kwethu, siphephe imigibe yokunxibelelana evela kwimidlalo esinokuthi siyidlale singaqondanga kwaye sizise ulwazi kumacandelo anokusahlula. Siyayamkela into yokuba ngamanye amaxesha imvakalelo kufuneka ibonakaliswe, ukuba ixesha lokuvula umoya lingafuneka. Siyacela omnye nomnye ngobabalo olulungileyo kwindlela esabelana ngayo ngemvakalelo kwaye sibuyele kwisiseko sothando, intlonipho kunye nokuqiniseka. Kufuneka sibe nemfesane xa kusenziwa iimpazamo. Iimpazamo ngamathuba okufunda. Sijonge iindlela zokudibanisa nokuqonda. Ukumamelana ngokunzulu sisixhobo esinamandla. Ngokukodwa kufuneka simamele abo bethu bavela kumaqela abo amazwi abo athambileyo ukuba athuliswe.

Ukungabikho kobundlobongela kugcina intshukumo yethu iphila. Sisebenzisa ukungabikho kobundlobongela ukutyhila abona bantu babangela ubundlobongela benkqubo abantu abahlupheka yiyo yonke imihla kwihlabathi liphela. Sisicwangciso-qhinga sethu ukuzisa ukukhanya kokungabikho kokusesikweni okusokola kakhulu kubantu abaninzi mihla le. Siva iintlungu ngenxa yokuphathwa gadalala ngamapolisa nabanye, kwaye sizakuhlala sibhenca ubundlobongela babo ngoqeqesho lwethu. Ukungabikho kobundlobongela kuboniswe ngokungathandabuzekiyo njengesixhobo esisebenzayo ekuhlanganiseni abantu abaninzi (jonga umsebenzi weGene Sharp kunye no-Erica Chenoweth) kwaye ke siseke ilitye lembombo lokuhamba kwethu koku.

Kwangelo xesha linye siyayiqonda into yokuba abantu abaninzi kunye neentshukumo emhlabeni bajongene nokufa, ukufuduswa kunye nokuphathwa gadalala ekukhuseleni okwabo. Asiyi kubagweba abo bakhusela ngokufanelekileyo iintsapho zabo kunye noluntu ngokusebenzisa amandla, ngakumbi njengoko kufuneka siqonde ukuba kaninzi lilungelo lethu elisigcina sikhuselekile. Simi kubumbano nabo bangenalo ilungelo elinjalo lokubakhusela kwaye ke kufuneka bazikhusele ngeendlela ezinobundlobongela; oku akuthethi ukuba siyaluxhaphaza lonke ubundlobongela, kuba nje siyaqonda ukuba kwezinye iimeko kunokuba kufanelekile. Kananjalo asizigxeki ezinye iintshukumo zentlalo nezokusingqongileyo ezikhetha ukonakalisa ipropathi ngenjongo yokuzikhusela kunye nendalo, umzekelo ukukhubaza i-rig yokuqhekeza okanye ukubeka indawo yokuvalelwa. Uthungelwano lwethu, nangona kunjalo, aluyi kwenza monakalo omkhulu wepropathi ngenxa yomngcipheko kwabanye abathathi-nxaxheba ngumbutho.

Siyaqonda ukuba asinakho ukujonga kurhulumente ukusombulula iingxaki zehlabathi. Ityekele ekugxininiseni amandla kunye nobutyebi ezandleni zabambalwa abanelungelo elikhulu, kwaye ihlala ingenazimfuno zesininzi sabantu kunye nehlabathi lendalo entliziyweni. Siyaqonda ukuba kufuneka sizicwangcise ngokwethu ukufezekisa iimfuno zethu, ethi kwimeko yokuPhela kweNtshabalalo kuthetha ukuba sisebenzela ukulinganisa amandla ngokuphazamisa iintsika eziqhelekileyo zamandla ezilawula ubomi bethu. Ngokwenza njalo, injongo yethu kukudala ukufikelela kwizibonelelo esizifunayo, ezinje ngemibutho yedemokhrasi eqinisekisa ukuba wonke umntu unelizwi nefuthe, ulwazi oluza ngaphandle komkhethe wabazizityebi nabanamandla, ukhathalelo lwempilo olufanelekileyo, imfundo, ukhathalelo lwentlalo kunye izindlu, ukuveliswa kwamandla acocekileyo, kunye nokukhuselwa emthethweni ukukhusela i-ecocide.

Nawuphi na umntu okanye iqela elinokuzilungiselela ngokuzimeleyo kwimicimbi evakalelwa kakhulu ukuba iyabacinezela, kwaye bathathe inyathelo egameni nomoya woQhushululu lwe-Extinction - okoko nje isenzo singena ngaphakathi kwemigaqo kunye nemilinganiselo ye-Extinction Rebelli. Ngale ndlela, amandla asasazwa ngokubanzi, oko kuthetha ukuba akukho sidingo sokucela imvume kwiqela eliphambili okanye kwigunya. Sikwazisa izimvo "zolawulo lobuzwilakhe" ngaphezulu kwemvumelwano: -Ukuba kungavunyelwana kwiqela elinye okanye abantu ababini benze umsebenzi othile kwiqela. Abo bantu ke banikwe amandla ngokupheleleyo ukwenza lo msebenzi. -Bangcono ukufuna iingcebiso kunye nengxelo kodwa abayidingi imvume yomntu ukuze bagqibe umsebenzi. -Banoxanduva olupheleleyo lweziphumo kwaye kufuneka babonakalise kubo kunye nendlela yokuphucula kwixa elizayo. Ukuba kukhona okungahambi kakuhle kufuneka bancede "bacoce".

Kwangelo xesha, njengothungelwano, i-Extinction Rebellion izilungiselela ukubonelela ngeemfuno zabantu abathatha inxaxheba kuyo, isebenza ukubonelela ngoqeqesho kwisenzo seqhinga lotshintsho, ukuzifundisa kunye nokufundisa ngemicimbi yamandla, ilungelo kunye nendlela yokwenza i-decolonise, ukudala ukufikeleleka okungcono, ukukhathalela iimfuno zethu zeemvakalelo ngokunxulumene nokusebenza kunye, kunye nokwenza ixesha lonxibelelwano kunye nolonwabo.
