Black communities throughout the nation have led on environmental
justice for years. While at the same time they have also been most
impacted by environmental malpractice, pollution, and injustice. The
environmental movement has historically excluded the voices of Black
leaders, even when policies and practices are directly affecting their
livelihoods and communities. Today many are still fighting for a
transformation of the environmental movement to prioritize funding and
opportunities for justice for Black communities.
Join Green 2.0 and Hip Hop Caucus for a discussion with Black leaders in the environmental sector about what needs to happen to move the needle in our mission to achieve justice and equity in the environmental movement.

Want to learn about how climate advocacy campaigns are developing in states across the country – from Pennsylvania to Nebraska to Connecticut to Hawaii? Have an exciting climate policy update or development to share with a network of like-minded individuals?
Join us for our monthly State Climate Policy Network national call! This one-hour, once-a-month call is the perfect opportunity to learn about the different legislation and movements going on in states across the U.S. Legislators, advocates, and experts will join us and inform the network of what is going on in their state, and what you might be able to do to help.
For those of you joining us for the first time, the SCPN call is also an opportunity simply listen to other states’ updates and challenges. We typically have campaign leaders in 15-20 states calling in and providing updates, and dozens of people listening and asking questions on the line. You can read more about the SCPN here.
Feel free to contact Kristen Soares, our SCPN Manager, at [email protected] with any questions.
Please register and spread the word to others interested in pushing forward climate policy in their state.
