Date: 2022-06-22

Join the Climate Comadres for a virtual reading and interview with author Michael Mendez on his book Climate Change from the Streets: How Conflict & Collaboration Strengthen the Environmental Justice Movement.

Michael Méndez’s award-winning book, “Climate Change from the Streets,” published by Yale University Press, provides an urgent and timely analysis of the contentious politics of incorporating environmental justice into global climate change policy.  Méndez tells a timely story of people, place, and power in the context of climate change and inequality. He explores the perspectives and influence low-income people of color bring to their advocacy work on climate change. In California, activist groups have galvanized behind issues such as air pollution, poverty alleviation, and green jobs to advance equitable climate solutions at the local, state, and global levels.
