John,

For Women’s History Month at Washington Conservation Action, we are highlighting the significant contributions women have made to the conservation movement, and how they are leading today’s fight.

We’ve seen time and time again that environmental issues are inherently interconnected with women’s issues, and social justice. Working to protect people and nature as one means identifying the unique impacts women face in the context of the climate crisis, and committing to equitable solutions for all.

Research shows that globally, women and girls are disproportionately impacted by the harmful effects of environmental degradation and climate change – and, too often, climate policy leaves women out of the conversation altogether.

However, global research also shows that where women are involved in politics and decision-making processes, they are often at the forefront of the fight against climate change. In Washington, some of our fiercest climate champions in elected offices are women.

Our most recent Legislator of the Year, State Rep. Davina Duerr, is one such champion. She works tirelessly to deliver equitable and community-driven solutions to our most pressing environmental and public health issues, including significant improvements on the Growth Management Act, one of the first laws we helped pass almost three decades ago.

Gender equity is central to our mission to protect people and nature as one. Let’s double down on this commitment. Add your name to join us! [[link removed]]

The bottom line is that climate justice is only possible with women’s political participation and climate activism, and an intentional focus on gender equity from all those in the fight for environmental protection.
