Desmond Tutu
People of conscience need to break their ties with corporations financing the injustice of climate change.
Desmond Tutu
In the land of my birth I cannot vote, whereas a young person of eighteen can vote. And why? Because he or she possesses that wonderful biological attribute - a white skin.
