I work at the intersection of racial justice and climate change.
Here's the first step for everyone
If you're wanting to get into the climate justice and sustainability movement, I recommend starting by reading the Jemez Principles of Democratic Organizing. Do research on the work that is being done by organizations in this field across the country. Refrain from wanting to create a new organization. Instead, find out what people are already doing in the community and see how you can add value and complement the work that is already being done.
