It’s not a coincidence that Black Americans are more likely to live close to pollution. Decades of racist policies have placed freeways, power plants and manufacturing facilities closer to communities of color and low-income communities. How can we tackle environmental racism head on?

This Black History Month, take an opportunity to learn more about how systemic injustice leads to environmental racism — and what you can do about it. Then take those lessons with you throughout the year as we continue to fight together for just and equitable climate solutions.
I hope to see you Monday,
Lumi Youm
Online Advocacy & Community Coordinator
