This week, I’m handing over the Movement Monday reins to my good friend Aija Zamurs. Aija has a degree in political science and is currently pursuing a Masters of Public Health at Yale, where she has also taken classes in the School of the Environment. We had originally talked about her writing a post about the intersection of public health and the climate crisis, but we’re putting that on hold as current events take us down another path. Aija’s thoughtful and informative take on the connections between the invasion of Ukraine and the climate crisis is an important reminder that climate change doesn’t sit in its own neat and tidy box–rather, it touches and is touched by political, economic, and social events going on all around the world. Likewise, though we may be in the climate movement, our voices can carry far beyond what are labeled as “climate issues.”
