🗯 What was (and still is) the Yellow Vests movement? 🥽

🤔 Hard to understand from the outside, in constant mutation, popular and powerful movement of the streets, the Yellow Vests movement started in 2018 in 🇲🇫.

⚡️ It shook the streets, those in power, as well as people’s imagination beyond the French borders 🌏.

🗯 What lessons can movements active around climate justice topics learn from the way left movements interacted with the Yellow Vests? 

How can these lessons help us be better allies for social justice movements? 

📣 “Going beyond the bubble” “Being an ally” “Helping create a popular uprising” are things that the climate justice movement (among others) often (at least verbally) strives for. However, many of our practices, reactions or priorities often come in the way of turning this good intention into a reality 👋. Together with our three speakers, we will try to draw lessons with the interactions between different actors around the Yellow Vests movement🪢. 

Take the weeks to come to prepare some first thoughts, don’t come empty-handed! 📝
