Zahra confidently wears the hijab and challenges the widespread assumption that Islam and feminism are mutually exclusive. Hamza, on the other hand, grapples with various toxic stereotypes about masculinity and the roles he is expected to perform. Mariama, as a Black Muslim woman, navigates the realisation that her life is influenced by colonialism and discrimination, while Amari charts their own path through seemingly rigid categories of sexuality and gender.

Most green initiatives call for action, but do not address the over-consumption and its causes. This manifesto shows our true escape: stop doing, degrowth and help Mother Earth to regenerate. Work with nature, not against it. The knowledge is still here.

People are doers and always call for action. But doing is exactly the root cause of the ecological problems we now face. All of our do...
