Space Panga launched FOUR spacecraft "Chardi Kala I-IV" at the first light of the July 21st New Moon (Alright), from the Deimos space station.
Tonight, Chardi Kala I arrived at JI, Jupiter's moon Io.
Chardi Kala is a central tenet of Bhangra, a mega-energetic folk dance from the Indian subcontinent. Here, we focus on #keepgoing, transforming the explosive energy of Bhangra into our #BLM movement on the Solar System's most geologically-active body, Io.
.

While the Earth may burn behind us we must #keepgoing, acknowledging that to overturn systemic racism, we must also overturn systemic issues that are currently attacking Mother Earth. Environmentalism and anti-racism is therefore inextricably linked.
.


People who have historically been left out of the equation when it comes to environmental decision making include people of color and low income individuals. Research has shown that proximity to landfills and superfund sites has been strongly associated with income and race. People who are and will continue to be disproportionately affected by climate change, including the increasing strength and frequency of fires, hurricanes, and drought, are low income and marginalized communities. It has been long overdue that we as individuals make our voices heard to push those with the greatest power to address these environmental and climate justice issues - but it is not too late.
