Webinar Series: The True Nature of Environmental Racism with Chúk OdenigboOnline Environmentalists tend to be well-meaning, forward-thinking people who believe in preserving the planet for generations to come. Environmental organizations will advocate for reusable cups, circular economy, zero-waste, conservation and the protection of animals and their rights; but are often hesitant or completely invisible when it comes to advocating for social justice and the lives of Indigenous, Black, racialized and otherwise marginalized peoples.
This learning series seeks to examine the ways the fight against systemic racism/for social justice and environmentalism are linked. We will explore and contextualize our understanding of racism within environmentalism and the environmental movement in Canada, and seek to look for solutions and build the tools necessary to create just futures for our human and non-human kin. Session 1: Introduction to Anti Racism
July 9, 2-3 PM ASTSession 2: Utopian Authoritarianism
July 11, 2-3 PM ASTSession 3: Holding Space
