Keep It In The Ground (Stop Fossil Fuels)

Overview 

Fossil fuel infrastructure wreaks havoc on Black frontline communities, from severe health impacts to environmental devastation. And yet, the fossil fuel industry stays strong, using duplicitous techniques to deny the reality of the impacts and to divert communities from pursuing true solutions. A different future is possible, and Black communities are at the forefront of making that change. The Keep it in the Ground program exposes the harsh truths through a lens of Black Liberation, while providing participants with the tools to advocate for a shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative one, highlighting the necessity not just of reducing carbon emissions, but also transforming societies, ecosystems, and economies to be more sustainable. Participants will delve into the severe health and environmental consequences of fossil fuel extraction and consumption and learn actionable solutions to drive meaningful change.
