With right-wing clampdowns on gender/climate issues, last night's #CambridgeFestival panel felt timely. The talk on Reproductive Justice w/ @cam-repro.bsky.social showed how climate change is already impacting lives back home. Grateful to share this through our work at @climatebrides.bsky.social 🌱

Das Modell unterstützt Frauen, die keine andere Möglichkeit haben ihre Familien zu ernähren. Dieses Video basiert auf der Graphic Novel von Reetika Revathy Subramanian und Maitri Dore, das euch mehr über Geschichte und die Alternative dieses Modells erzählt.
