💚On this
#InternationalVolunteerDay we are grateful to our 15,000 Greenpeace volunteers around the world.
From painting signs and organising local marches to exposing big polluters and complicit politicians, your courage and commitment shape everything we do. You remind us that real change is built by people who give their time, skills and hearts to something bigger than themselves.
Today we also honour the millions of volunteers who make the world more just and humane. The people who distribute food, clean rivers and shorelines, teach children, defend women’s rights, LGBTQIA+ rights and disability rights, support neighbours, fight for housing and education, protect forests and oceans, and choose solidarity in a world that so often rewards indifference.
You stand in the way of a cruel and violent status quo. You refuse resignation. You refuse systems that crush lives and workers. You show that hope grows when people act together and refuse to give up.
To every volunteer, eve...
