Climate justice is racial justice. The chaos of the federal administration has many people scrambling to understand what’s happening, and what it means for leading with race in climate work. Longtime environmental justice leaders Jacqui Patterson (Founder and Executive Director at The Chisholm Legacy Project) and Dorcas Gilmore, Esq. (co-founder of Gilmore Khandhar, LLC) unpacked the current moment and shared reflections about the legal landscape. The discussion focused on how grassroots organizations are continuing to center race in their climate work, and concrete actions people can take to protect our communities and build power.
