Resources for
Raising Antiracist Kids

Families for Climate stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.

As we and our families grapple with the intersecting crises of racism, police violence, COVID-19, and climate change, we join our voices with people around the country and around the world in fighting for justice, equity, and the future we want to see for all children.

The systems of oppression and exploitation that have fueled racial injustice in our society are also at the root of the climate crisis, and cause Black people and communities of color to be disproportionately impacted by climate change. We cannot solve the climate challenge without addressing systemic racism and exploitation of people and our earth. Put another way, “You can’t have climate change without sacrifice zones, and you can’t have sacrifice zones without disposable people, and you can't have disposable people without racism.” - Hop Hopkins
