Episode 9.2 Solarpunk Presents: National Parks for All! is out now!

This week, we talk to Audrey Peterman, a Jamaican activist who played a key role in making a home for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour) in the great outdoors in the United States. Historically, people of colour were not included in outdoors parks & wilderness spaces in America, and often outright excluded, especially urban people of colour. However, Audrey fought to combat this stereotype and has written extensively on the matter. We sit down and listen to the wonderful stories and great wisdom derived from years of activism. Listen now at:

The collection of essays in “Fieldnotes on Fortitude” isn’t just about understanding what’s happening now; it’s full of strategies for pushing back, reclaiming what’s being lost, and finding strength amid the chaos.

Curious to know which books and/or organizations shaped your #SocialJustice and #RacialEquity lens

Looking at this book list from https://antiraciststarterpack.com/

The first book I read on #RaceConscious perspectives was #RaceMatters from #CornelWest

I typically recommend #HowToBeAnAntiRacist by #IbramXKendi to folks who are new to learning about #antiracism and #WeDoThisTilWeFreeUs by #MariameKaba for folks who are learning about #CommunityOrganizing with an #abolitionist lens

The orgs I recommend following to learn the basics around social justice issues are #MovementForBlackLives #M4BL #NDNCollective #ShowingUpForRacialJustice #SURJ #CriticalResistance and so many others

Join Justice Outside for "Cultivating Community Outdoors!" on April 27 and 28, 2023 in Oakland. This conference will center Black, Indigenous, and Communities of Color. Through meaningful relationships with one another and the outdoors, we can build a world where we experience safety, health, and abundant joy.
