Dr. ayanaeliza 's piece in the Washington Post, "I’m a black climate expert. Racism derails our efforts to save the planet" is a must read for all climate activists! 📰🌊(Link in our bio).
.
“If we want to successfully address climate change, we need people of color. Not just because pursuing diversity is a good thing to do, and not even because diversity leads to better decision-making and more effective strategies, but because, black people are significantly more concerned about climate change than white people (57 percent vs. 49 percent), and Latinx people are even more concerned (70 percent). To put that in perspective, it means that more than 23 million black Americans already care deeply about the environment and could make a huge contribution to the massive amount of climate work that needs doing.” .
