We speak out because racism is wrong, and because we believe environmental and racial justice are inextricably linked.<\/p>\n\n<p>And we defend the right to peaceful protest.<\/p>\n\n<p>Peaceful protest is a strategy to demand justice. To demand rights and equal treatment, and to bring about positive change. Protest is often one of the only ways for people on the margins to demand change and accountability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>It is essential in a healthy democracy, and must not be
