Girls! In honor of Women's History Month, Vanessa Conroy from Feminist Communities for Climate Justice joins us to discuss their work to achieve climate justice informed by feminist and community development principles. Their organization recognizes the intersectional relationship between climate change and social justice, and that climate must be considered in every policy decision we make. Vanessa discusses these issues, and the ways in which the climate crisis disproportionately affects women and other marginalized groups Resources discussed in this episode:
