Climate Justice Organizing HUB Wiki

As a transformational social movement, climate justice applies anti-oppression and intersectionality to framing the climate crisis.

This platform is intended for future and current activists in this movement.

We invite you to start by taking note of our land acknowledgement.

Why create a Wiki?

The content of this platform is intended to be informed by activist and scholarly perspectives from the field, in order to reflect the movement. You can send suggestions for modifying or adding content on existing pages to ayolehub@proton.me.
