A-Infos (en) Germany, Die Platform: Participation in the Global Climate Strike - A Brief Report (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

For Friday, March 3rd, 2023, Fridays For Future called for a global climate 
strike again. As in numerous places around the world and in 250 cities in Germany 
alone, around 400 people took to the streets in Trier for climate and 
environmental justice. Some members of the local group of the Trier platform also 
took part, supported the preparations and took part in the demonstration. ---- In 
the morning, activists were at the rally of the striking bus drivers to network 
for future cooperation. The demo train itself started at midday from the 
Domfreihof and from there moved through the city center, over the Alleenring past 
the Porta and back again. In glorious weather, it was possible to loudly draw 
attention to the demands of the groups and individuals involved. The platform 
participated with many comrades and friends in an anti-capitalist and 
internationalist block, for which it was particularly important to emphasize that 
it should not just be about reminding those in government to comply with climate 
goals. We believe that climate justice and averting global catastrophe can only 
be achieved through systemic issues. Only if we overcome the system that leads to 
destruction, oppression and exploitation can there be a future in a world worth 
living in for all people.

As a platform, we represent an intersectional approach, which means we are 
convinced that the various social struggles can only be conceived and waged 
together. In order to achieve climate justice, we must also act consistently 
against capitalism, patriarchy and (neo)colonialism. Capitalism without 
exploitation is unimaginable, neither the exploitation of our livelihoods nor the 
oppression of FLINTA* and BIPoC* can ever be completely overcome in this system. 
Environmental justice also means freedom, equality and solidarity with all people.

Accordingly, many groups with different focal points took part. Especially in the 
speeches at the end of the march, it became clear once again how apparently 
different fights belong together. Whether the struggle of the people in Rojava 
and the surrounding earthquake regions against oppression and patriarchy or the 
profit that the rulers draw from the destructive status quo in Germany, it is 
evident everywhere that the struggle for a better world and a sustainable life is 
on all fronts must be guided.

The fight goes on! - In Trier and everywhere!
