Checkpoint #1

 In this blog, I will be examining Black women and their role within the conservationist and environmental justice movements. Environmentalism is a movement that desperately needs more intersectionalism. This blog will explore Black women’s position within the climate justice movement, their contributions to said movement, and the general significance of eco-racism and misogyny. Black women’s work in climate justice is essential in creating a safe future for humanity, and this blog will focus on the context, effects, and importance of environmentalist Black women’s work.
