What a way to start Black History Month!! It was so cool to finally meet Dr. Beronda L. Montgomery in person and host her at UMD to discuss her book When Tree Testify. It was extra special that she cited my work in the book and included a whole slide in her presentation to explain why!

Last Friday, I gathered environmental justice educators from across the University of Maryland system for an EJ Pedagogy Workshop, where we shared syllabi, best practices, assignments, and thoughts on how we help students navigate climate and eco anxiety. It was an incredible experience!
One day will be the last that they commit an execution in the streets and we can and must bring that day closer however we can
The coming hours and days in Minneapolis are crucial. ICE killed a man and is violently repressing protestors. We will begin to interrupt the fascists decisively in the coming days or we will wake up to full arsenal unchecked state backed autocratic capitalism.

The toxic burden of waste treatment facilities and work has always been on Black, brown, and poor communities, which is one reason main why the environmental justice movement emerged from the civil rights movement, not US environmentalism.
