On September 2nd 2020, Writers Rebel and Extinction Rebellion organised the 'Tell No Lies About Climate Change' event outside 55 Tufton Street, London.
Introduced by Mark Rylance, the British writer Zadie Smith spoke directly and movingly about how her attitude to climate change has moved on from grief to political engagement.
'The fate of the planet cannot be decided by well-remunerated men and women in shadowy offices. This planet belongs to the people. More accurately, we all belong to it.'
The short excerpts of Zadie Smith's speech have already been viewed and shared thousands of times. Here is the whole speech, start to finish.
