Time To Act

A rousing call for more humanity

A call for action for global justice and environment protection in order to prevent the collapse of human civilisation

Carola Rackete took the brave decision for her and Sea Watch 3 to ignore the Italian interior ministry’s ban. As a result of her bravery and determinedly standing up for her values, she is the role model for a whole generation. A call for action for global justice and environment protection in order to prevent the collapse of human civilisation. She headed for the harbour of Lampedusa with 40 refugees saved from the Mediterranean on board. As a result, the captain became famous overnight - and the hero of everyone who no longer wants to stand by while saving human lives is systematically prevented. In her book, she tells why she acts so unconditionally for humanity, global justice and nature conservation, since people fleeing from their home countries is directly connected to the climate crisis and the increasing global injustice. We have to act urgently, for it is a question of nothing less than our future on our planet.
