What is the impact of having large-scale environmental movements that mostly exclude the voices of the underrepresented and people of color? - Leah Thomas

I studied Environmental Science and would much rather focus on urgently addressing the climate crisis, but I cannot when I’m fearful for my life and that of those who look like me. I would much rather dedicate my life to fighting against extractive industries than fight for my right to exist in this world. I wish that was just understood as an inherent principle in society.

Those least responsible for the climate crisis are bearing the brunt of it.

Together, we can transform the future of environmentalism and, with collective action, spread our message across the globe and change enough hearts and minds to positively alter the future.
