The goal of this activity is to ground your exploration of power and systems in your local communities.
Try to complete this before the second session of your collaboration group (Saturday, 2:30 EDT). This should take about 30 minutes to do.
Google: [your location/area/town/region] + “environmental justice” / “environmental racism”
Find an article, call to action, or piece of legislature that has to do with your neighboring communities and some way people are experiencing the impacts of climate and other oppressions
Then start to do some research: What communities are being impacted by this? Who are the organizations involved? What are the government structures involved? How close by is this to where you live? What are conditions like compared to where you are? Take any notes that will be helpful.
In collaboration groups, we will share very brief stories about how climate injustice and other injustice is impacting communities locally. If you are someone who benefits from writing out in advance, you can jot down a few sentences.
