Bhavini Patel
Advocate for racial, social and climate justice
Since realising her family history was a history of climate dislocation, Bhavini has become a dedicated activist strongly aware of the interconnectedness of social and environmental issues.
She advocates for racial, social and climate justice through her support for Extinction Rebellion, BLM community circles and Kill The Bill’s campaign against the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill.
Her achievements include co-creating an affinity group in Extinction Rebellion, XR Unify, to build diversity in the movement. Off the back of this, the group launched an inclusive protest against climate inaction, the Carnival For Climate Justice, to engage North East London’s multicultural community in the climate crisis.
Through media interviews with outlets such as BBC Asian Network, Bhavini makes a concerted effort to ensure climate activism offers a welcoming space for people, no matter their background, ethnicity or faith.
