Women of Color for Climate Justice Road Tour 2009 Begins!

September 9, 2009 by Deborah McKinney · Comments 

Women of Color United is hitting the road again! Follow us as we start the Women of Color for Climate Justice Road Tour and hear how climate change is impacting U.S. women of color and their communities. We will visit 15+ cities from September to November.

We value all earth’s creatures, yet, see a need to expand the picture of climate change from primarily stranded polar bears or melting snow caps to include the woman next door, the cousin who lives down south, and the grandmother who lives out west. They too are the faces of climate change. Women of color are often disproportionately impacted by climate change, yet, underrepresented in the environmental justice movement. We see this tour as a step in the long journey to climate justice.
