Today, we’re revisiting a powerful story from Peace & Riot with @RaniaBatrice that explores the intersections of climate justice and Palestinian liberation. Read the story here: tinyurl.com/palestine-clim…

Patrisse Cullors, artist, abolitionist, and co-founder of #BlackLivesMatter talks about the science behind movements and what it takes to build solidarity across climate and racial justice in my latest conversation for @thenation thenation.com/podcast/enviro…

The community came OUT for NYC Climate Week! ✊🏾🌍 Thank you to everyone who joined us, our Storytellers, and our partners @EnvDefenseFund and Frontline Resource Institute for making this event possible 🫶🏾

Diane Wilson, a fourth-generation shrimper took on the sixth largest chemical company in the world —and won. But her story goes far deeper: decades of organizing for prison reform and anti-war movements. Hear our conversation for @thenation podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/an-…

The people most harmed by ecological violence are usually the least represented in the stories we consume about climate change.

So many in climate movement use the right words & falter when it comes time to walk the walk. The best organizers learn to accept critical feedback, change behavior, and put their money where their mouth is. There’s no time to mess around- fate of the world hangs in the balance!
