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.
