Activism is “low-hanging fruit” that involves taking political or social action and/or advocating for change. Not all activists are organizers, and a lot of activism–particularly eurocentric co-opting and monetizing– can undermine movements and organizers. Hong Kong born and UK based activist Tori Tsui speaks with Rev Yearwood about what it means to be a “bad activist”, the white fragility that is eco-anxiety, and the colonial history of Hong Kong.
