    • Handeln statt Hoffen

      Aufruf an die letzte Generation

      Die Sea-Watch-Kapitänin spricht Klartext Carola Rackete traf die mutige Entscheidung, sich über das Verbot des italienischen Innenministeriums hinwegzusetzen und mit der »Sea Watch 3« den Hafen von Lampedusa anzusteuern. An Bord: 53 aus dem Mittelmeer gerettete Geflüchtete. Hier erzählt sie, warum sie sich so bedingungslos für Menschlichkeit, globale Gerechtigkeit und Naturschutz einsetzt. Denn dass Menschen aus ihrer Heimat fliehen, hängt unmittelbar mit der Klimakrise und der zunehmenden globalen Ungerechtigkeit zusammen. Wir müssen dringend handeln, denn es geht um nichts weniger als die gemeinsame Zukunft auf unserem Planeten. Ungekürzte Lesung mit Jodie Ahlborn, Carola Rackete 4 CDs, 3h 53min

      Captain Carola Rackete made the bold decision to ignore the Italian Ministry of the Interior's ban and headed to the port of Lampedusa with the Sea Watch 3 and 40 rescued refugees. Overnight, she became a global figure and a role model for those fighting against the systematic prevention of saving lives. In her book, she explains her unwavering commitment to humanity, global justice, and environmental protection, as the plight of many is closely linked to the climate crisis and global injustice. She emphasizes the urgency of action to secure our shared future on this planet. Rackete describes a turning point in human history, where the destruction of ecosystems and the collapse of the climate system threaten our existence. Her appeal is directed at all who seek to protect the rights of others to preserve their own. Her courageous advocacy for her values makes her a role model for an entire generation. The book is a compelling call to support global justice and environmental protection to prevent the collapse of civilization. Proceeds from the book go to borderline-europe, an organization advocating for the rights of refugees and fighting against the criminalization of helpers.
