The Role of Intersectionality in Environmentalism
Educational Resources
We invite you to engage in the educational aspects of environmentalism and social justice. There are many different ways individuals within your community could be disproportionately impacted by climate change and environmental racism. Use resources to learn about the history of the Environmental Justice movement and educate yourself on not only how the movement arose, but also how it continues to be practiced in your own community.
Here are a few sources to get you started on your journey to learning more about intersectional environmentalism and how it plays into social justice.
Intersectional Environmentalism
Leah Thomas, a Chapman Alum ('16), is an Environmental Science and Policy graduate who helped bring light to the role of intersectionality in multiple social justice movements including feminism, anti-racism, and environmentalism. As the founder of website and Instagram account "Intersectional Environmentalist", she advocates for the protection of both the people and the planet by identifying and highlighting voices of residents in marginalized communities and giving them a platform to tell their stories on sustainability and environmental inequity.
Find the Instagram page here and the website here.
