DESCRIPTION:Join us for our climate justice conversation in our 100 Days of a Feminist 
 Agenda series. This conversation will explore climate justice as a feminist 
 issue and highlight climate activism.\n\nHosts: National Organization for 
 Women (NOW) and Black Women's Blueprint\n\nWhen: Earth Day, April 22 @ 2 PM 
 PT (5 PM ET)\n\nRSVP: 
 https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3MWRTTX1RaOo0-QhGJzjiQ\n\n\nThe 
 climate crisis is a global problem that has many direct effects on our 
 daily lives. Extreme weather conditions, environmental pollution, and food 
 accessibility, all impact our families and communities. \n\nBut not all 
 communities are impacted equally. Data shows that factors like race, 
 gender, and economics can determine who bears the brunt of this rapidly 
 intensifying disaster and women, especially women of color will struggle 
 the most. \n\nWomen are the caretakers of their communities and the effects 
 of climate change make them even more vulnerable to the patriarchal systems 
 in place – immediately after natural disasters, like Hurricane Maria and 
 Katrina, reporting shows that women faced an uptick in gender based 
 violence and harassment.    \n\nThe U.S. is no stranger to public health 
 crises due to environmental misconduct – from the Flint water catastrophe 
 that left poor, mostly Black families without water and dangerously high 
 levels of lead in their blood, to Indigenous women whose breast milk is 
 poisoned by pollution. And when extreme weather events occur, like the 
 recent tornado in Alabama or the flooding in Hawaii, women, especially 
 trans women, are afraid to sleep in evacuation centers amplifying how women 
 live at the intersection of the climate crisis and patriarchy.\n\nFurther 
 conversation and action around climate justice that centers feminist 
 solutions and federal policy are essential in fighting climate change. \n
