Before we get into it, we have a special announcement. Next week, NPQ will be launching our new newsletters to better serve our readers. While this is the final Race + Power newsletter, we are excited for the new newsletter Justice This Week, which highlights stories at the intersection of health, racial, economic, climate, immigration, and LGBTQ+ justice. 

And leading up to the launch of the newsletter, this week we’re highlighting stories that illustrate how justice issues are all connected.

First, in a story about increasing alarm over how data centers are consuming energy on the electric grid, particularly in the South, we are reminded that climate justice is also a racial and health justice issue. Next, an article by María Constanza Costa links health and racial justice by highlighting how Latine groups are organizing against Medicaid cuts that have a disproportionate impact on their communities. Then, we look at campus organizers, the intersectional struggles they face, and what we can learn from them. 

Finally, we invite you to attend our upcoming webinar on July 24 at 2pm (ET) on organizing in divided times. There, we will hear from Julia Roig and Jarvis Williams of The Horizons Project about effective ways to protect democracy and advocate across differences. Register before July 18 to take advantage of the discounted price.

Thanks for reading,
