Black Leaders on Environmental Justice and Beyond
Black communities throughout the nation have led on environmental justice for years. While at the same time they have also been most impacted by environmental malpractice, pollution, and injustice. The environmental movement has historically excluded the voices of Black leaders, even when policies and practices are directly affecting their livelihoods and communities. Today many are still fighting for a transformation of the environmental movement to prioritize funding and opportunities for justice for Black communities.
Join Green 2.0 and Hip Hop Caucus for a discussion with Black leaders in the environmental sector about what needs to happen to move the needle in our mission to achieve justice and equity in the environmental movement.
Speakers:- Rep. Andre Carson (D-Ill.)
- Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr., Hip Hop Caucus
- Raviya Ismail, Green 2.0
- Eddie Love, Ocean Foundation
- Karen T. Campblin, Fairfax County NAACP
- Corina Newsome, Wildlife conservationist
- Latresse Snead, Bonsai Leadership Group LLC

We typically have campaign leaders in 15-20 states calling in and providing updates, and dozens of people listening and asking questions on the line. You can read more about the SCPN here.
