This week’s Race + Power newsletter examines different systems—climate infrastructure, wealth distribution, land ownership, and food systems—where closing racial divides materially contributes to a world where all can survive and thrive. First, we feature a conversation between Dr. Dorceta E. Taylor and Cyndi Suarez about how climate justice provides a critical framework to ensure responses to climate change engender a better future where all can thrive—not solely the wealthy and white. We also consider strategies for addressing the racial wealth divide, and why we must do better at a time when this gap is as stark as ever. We feature a piece examining the role of community land ownership in ensuring collective thriving and prosperity. Finally, we look at the rise of the food justice movement in Black communities across the country.
