Two of my favourite protest groups. I do hope they don't destroy each other.

People living in the most polluted areas tend to be poorer people, who have less time and money to become ‘activists’ (working for nothing for a cause).
People living in poverty have far more daily worries to think about than single use straws.

Ymb,
Social activism tends to be a middle class activity. Find any group that is poorer and their involvement with ‘causes’ diminishes. It is not their colour or ethnicity that singles them out as under represented, it is their lack of money. That is why I labelled the theory put forward by Ms Kissi-Debrah as nonsense.
I particularly disagree with her when she says climate change activists want to get arrested and BAME people don’t. She has taken one group who use the tactic of arrest, and then tarred ALL climate change activists with the same brush. I find her whole argument flawed.
