Leah Thomas with Hannah Wilson: The Intersection Between Environmentalism, Racism, and Privilege
Activist Leah Thomas offers a call to action in The Intersectional Environmentalist, a guide for justice-minded changemakers and an ode to planetary healing. Thomas, who coined the term "intersectional environmentalism," looks closely at the overlaps between environmentalism, racism, and privilege, arguing that civil and environmental rights must be fought for simultaneously in order to achieve collective liberation. Thomas will be joined by Hannah Wilson, a queer, disabled, deaf, and Black non-binary community builder. Wilson is the Farm Manager at Yes Farm with the Black Farmers Collective and co-chair of the Environmental Justice Committee for the City of Seattle.
