My path in meditation has been deeply informed by nature and as I started my work in anti-racism and anti-oppression I came across Intersectional Environmentalism, founded by Leah Thomas.

“Intersectional Environmentalism is an inclusive version of environmentalism that advocates for both the protection of people and the planet. It identifies the ways in which injustices happening to marginalized communities and the earth are interconnected. It brings injustices done to the most vulnerable communities, and the earth, to the forefront and does not minimize or silence social inequality.”

I believe one of the most accessible tools for each of us to step into the roles of being an advocate, activist, supporter or ally is to be mindful of where we spend our time, energy and dollars. Here is a growing list that can be useful in living more mindfully in supporting marginalized communities and sustaining our resources on earth.
