Join us to read and discuss the important book Climate Change is Racist: Race, Privilege and the Struggle for Climate Justice (2021) by Jeremy Williams. The book highlights the intersection between white supremacy and environmental destruction to show that the two crises are symbiotic and reinforcing. As the publisher’s summary notes “In this eye-opening book, writer and environmental activist Jeremy Williams takes us on a short, urgent journey across the globe – from Kenya to India, the USA to Australia – to understand how White privilege and climate change overlap. We’ll look at the environmental facts, hear the experiences of the people most affected on our planet and learn from the activists leading the change.” This book is an opportunity to better understand white supremacy, climate change, and how we can each find our way to challenge them within the global system.
