What The Earth Asks of US: A toolkit on EJ Action

This toolkit is a first step towards taking action and addressing environmental injustice in your own communities, created in collaboration with Plant Baby Plant, a movement by Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer.

Plant Baby Plant invites us to “raise a garden & raise a ruckus,” and we hope you do just that. Using this toolkit, we encourage you to transform your knowledge into actions you can take to better your community and fight against systems of oppression. In addition to the grounding U.S. environmental justice history and resources in this toolkit, you can also find a three-step guide to community action. This process will take you through how you can get involved in local environmental justice initiatives. If you want to dig deeper into these actions, you can find interactive prompts and reflections towards the end of the toolkit.
