🌞everyone deserves access to a healthy environment. The Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act should serve as true protections for everyone and not just a select few. Race shouldn’t be a defining factor for how negatively or positively someone experiences the natural world around them. 🦋 ⁣

We are hard at work and sorting through our volunteer forms. To be transparent, we are taking the steps to really legitimize our organization and get up and running. We’re amazed by the environmental community and their willingness to advocate for intersectional environmentalism. What started as an Instagram post has turned into a movement which feels so surreal. What’s in the works: expanding our council and contributor base, formalizing our certification criteria and partnership opportunities, creating eco-friendly and upcycled merch, adding more topic pages and more. ⁣

A note from : As a black environmentalist this community is my biggest dream come true. I am so thankful for you all. It feels like I’m honoring my ancestors by advocating for us to reclaim our space in the environmental movement and our inherent cultural traditions and relationships with nature. I’m in awe and stoked for what’s to come! ✊🏾 ⁣
