“Sheriff's Homicide Unit detectives have yet to identify a suspect or motive in the incident, but noted that they believe that Marodi knew the perpetrator and are treating this case as a potential domestic violence incident.”
It is part of the far right's work to target us in our homes. It happens in climate and environmental justice, too, and Black women have tried to sound the alarm for years. No one listened then. I hope more listen now. https://safetyandpeace.today
Thanks i think that we need more investment in the recommendations included in the end of the report, and we need more unified demands to make these services available-- especially at a time when resources are becoming fewer not greater.
I link these two together not to take focus from Rebecca Marodi but to underline that there is a common opposition to our lives and therefore common cause to keep building a united front against fascism.
Rebecca Marodi, 49, was found dead inside her own home, and "Investigators suspect that the victim knew the perpetrator and are treating this case as a potential domestic violence incident.”
It's my experience that because climate and energy are overwhelmingly white and heteronormative that by and large this type of activity is considered inconsequential or minor. Fringe. Unlikely. It's not, though, for the vast majority of us who are first to fight for justice and last to be included.
The minimization of *us* and of our work and our identities is going to continue to put us in harm's way if everyone white and powerful in climate and energy continues to carry on with business as usual.
If you've opened this and read this far and your day job is anywhere in proximity to mine, *you know this woman whose story i highlighted*. Please start to speak up and to talk to those you work with and those you trust about how you're going to have to change yourselves and your work.

Bull shit. I doubt anyone believes that.
