There is no climate justice without racial justice.
We’re in a time of multiple crises: virulent racism and police violence; a global pandemic; widespread unemployment; extreme polarization in the political sphere; and of course, the climate emergency.
It’s also a time of movement and transformative possibility. It can feel dizzying, trying to track all that’s going on. Check out our Get Involved! page to connect with our campaigns and teams. To plug into the racial justice movement, consider following the Movement for Black Lives and — locally — Urban Triage, Freedom Inc, and Free the 350 Bail Fund.
350 Madison stands in solidarity with people the world over who are working for justice, equity, and preservation of a livable planet. Climate justice works hand in hand with racial and social justice, and we won’t stop working until all are achieved. If you’re interested in joining our Climate Justice workgroup, contact Tanace Matthiesen at tanace.matthiesen@350madison.org.
