Social issue movements are inherently interconnected as they are all built upon one another and they each affect one another. The climate justice movement is an intersectional movement, and thus as a part of the movement we work towards collective liberation for all social justice issues. Right now in particular there is a huge outpouring of resources and ways to get involved in the racial justice and Black Lives Matter movement. I spent time compiling and sorting through a bunch of resources that I have found super helpful, educational, and informative. In knowing that the climate justice movement and racial justice movement, just like all other social justice movements are ultimately intersectional, I made sure to spend time this week amplifying the resources that are available. You can find my compilation here. Included on the document are a bunch of different links to petitions to sign, places to donate money, and educational resources. I focused a lot on educational resources because they are super important spend time looking through. Throughout the doc I have asterisked a few resources that I have personally found super helpful. It is important that we all spend time continually educating ourselves and learning more about important issues such as racial inequality and white supremacy in our country.

Overview of My InquiryFor my US Youth Climate Strike (USYCS) Inquiry I hope to learn what it means to work at the national level in order to organize and create change in our country. I will work with the National Outreach Team in order to develop partnerships around the country for the chapters of USYCS to be able to gain support from. I will work with my team in order to find partners and develop lasting relationships with them. Climate justice will not happen if we do not work with other organizations. The partnerships will help each state’s chapter to further develop themselves and create more of an impact on the state’s government leaders.
