The Intersectional Environmentalist
by Leah Thomas
The Intersectional Environmentalist examines the inextricable link between environmentalism, racism, and privilege, and promotes awareness of the fundamental truth that we cannot save the planet without uplifting the voices of its people -- especially those most often unheard. Written by IE founder Leah Thomas featuring excerpts from over 20 activists and educators. It’s been adopted into classrooms around the U.S., selected as the common experience read for UCLA in 2022, and continues to serve as an introduction for intersectional environmentalism.
The Joy Report
The Joy Report is a podcast dedicated to sharing stories about climate solutions and environmental justice grounded in intersectionality and optimism. Through TJR, we share updates on all things climate, social, and environmental justice explained in a succinct, accessible way by Arielle King, an environmental justice advocate and attorney passionate about environmental education.

The IE Agenda
Through interviews, poetry, visual art, studies, and educational resources, the IE Agenda highlights the voices of BIPOC agriculturalists, teachers, healers, organizers and more, shaping and evolving the environmental movement. To address a historically exclusive publishing industry that often leaves out critical voices, this legacy zine project served a tool for reclaiming the environmental movement through diverse voices and their intersecting identities.
