Webinar: Achieving Climate Justice in the Broader Social Justice Movement

We know that historically underserved and underrepresented communities are disproportionately impacted by climate change and environmental injustices. What does this mean for activists who are working to make a positive change for their communities? This workshop will focus on understanding how to recognize these intersections, and how to apply these understandings to activist work.
