Julia Louis-Dreyfus Instagram – Hi! 👋🏽 @ayanaeliza here with a FACT: People of color care *more* about climate change than white people. It’s *way* past time to bust the myth of environmentalism being a white thing. We’ve got a lot of work to do. We’re gonna need everyone.
Who in the USA is concerned about climate change? 📈
49% of Whites
57% of Blacks
70% of Latinx
Why is the number so much higher for Latinx people? Per polling, primarily because they have stronger egalitarian worldviews and a stronger sense that their friends and family want them to take action. Secondarily, because they are more at risk from environmental hazards.
Think we can effectively address the #ClimateCrisis without a diverse and inclusive #ClimateJustice movement? 🤔 … NOPE!
Imagine what would be possible if POC who *ALREADY CARE* about climate didn’t have to deal with racism and could instead devote more energy to #ClimateSolutions… 💭💪🏽✨.
.
Meanwhile on the climate denier side… 🤨… white folks, please go talk to your cousins. Please.

![Julia Louis-Dreyfus Instagram – [@ayanaeliza 👋🏽 takeover post] There are ~23 million Black Americans who are *already* deeply concerned about the #ClimateCrisis. (MILLION!) But how can we expect Black people to effectively lead their communities on the existential threat of climate when faced with the existential threat of racism?
This oped I wrote, connecting the dots on all we are dangerously squandering, is what inspired our IG Live conversation yesterday.
Swipe to read. Link in stories and bit.ly/WaPoClimateBLM.
Thoughts and prayers. Love and light. Those won’t solve racism or climate change. So what are you going to DO? The options are endless, and there is a place for *everyone* in this work.
We sometimes talk about racial justice and climate justice as separate things. But in the end, as @mary.heglar reminded us is in a recent episode of her Hot Take podcast, justice is justice, it’s all one — big enough to hold us all.
