I use the term “climate justice” a lot, friend, and I wanted to take a moment to tell you why.

Climate justice acknowledges that the people hit first and worst by the climate crisis are not the ones causing it. The worst of America’s pollution has been placed disproportionately by the fossil fuel industry into communities of color.

Big corporations continue to treat low-income communities, communities of color, and vulnerable rural communities as dumping grounds for their environmental waste for greater profit — and they’ve been allowed to get away with it.

Regardless of who you’re voting for, you’re living on this planet and you’re going to feel the effects of the climate crisis. And if we’re going to address that crisis and create a healthy country, we have to start by recognizing that it’s hurting low income communities and communities of color more than others.
