How Divestment Helps Black Communities

IN ORDER TO HAVE CLIMATE JUSTICE WE MUST STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE BLACK LIVES MATTER MOVEMENT.

We know that climate change is one of the greatest issues of our time, which is why it is important to take action towards climate justice to ensure a just, equitable and livable planet for future generations. We must begin by dismantling the root causes of the climate crisis— the systems of oppression that have led to widespread social injustice and ecological catastrophe. Racism, sexism, colonialism, and classism are only a few of the corrupt ideologies that have acted as a cancer within our institutional power structures for centuries.
