IN HONOR OF EARTH DAY
Who CAREs? A Conversation on Feminist Climate Action
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21ST AT 10:30 AM PT / 1:30 PM ET
For millennia, women have been the bedrock of the “care economy”-- nurturing our families, laboring to better our societies, and stewarding the Earth and its precious resources. As the climate emergency intensifies, so does the burden on our world’s women. Yet from these frontlines, women leaders are designing solutions from the ground up. Listen to this conversation with four powerful leaders from the 2020 U.S. Grassroots Accelerator Program as we discuss what CARE looks like in their communities and their climate justice movements.
