Equity issues in the Thurston Climate Mitigation Plan
In the state of WA, Native tribes have been providing important leadership in the fight to protect the Earth from the climate crisis. White people need to know how to be good allies to people of color and understand that climate justice exists at the intersection of protecting our earth and creating a more equitable society. The Thurston Climate Mitigation Plan will include many items that have equity impacts. We need to be able to apply an equity lens to how we think about this plan. This training will better prepare you for the work we have to do ahead!
