Climate justice activist on direct actions against private jets in Belgium

On this edition of Free city Radio we hear from climate justice activist Ruth-Marie Henckes from the Brussels based organization Code-Rouge. This organization has organized a series of actions calling for the closure of small private airports that largely service private jets. The actions underline the growing number of private jets in the Western European context and beyond as a clear symbol of growing economic inequality and also of how climate injustice is linked to economic injustice.

The accompanying photo is by Johanna de Tessières of a blockade of an airport in Belgium that serves private jets. Thanks to the Social Justice Centre for supporting my work on this weekly program.
