Educational Panels
Environmental Racism
The environmental movement in the United States has historically been racist and anti-worker. Climate Alliance of the South Sound stands against this by uniting Indigenous wisdom and the worker's movement.
Our last Education Panel on Environmental Racism was December 5th, 2023. Click Here to download the slides from that event.
More Educational Panels will be planned in the future! Register for updates or follow us on Instagram!
