"Winning this case isn’t just about us—it’s about showing people that you can demand justice and fight for your rights." —Meralney Bomba

Description:

What does it take for a small island community to stand up to a colonial power? How can the law become a weapon of change in the fight for climate justice?

In this episode, we meet Meralney Bomba, a community organizer from Bonaire, who has joined forces with Greenpeace Netherlands in a bold legal battle against the Dutch government. This case—rooted in climate and human rights law—is more than a lawsuit; it’s a rallying cry for empowerment, justice, and resistance.

Merlaney shares her transformation from gym influencer to activist, the challenges of mobilizing a shy and reserved community, and how this court case is already inspiring other island nations to rise for climate action.
