Racism Is Killing the Planet

Racism Is Killing the Planet

Juneteenth is a day that honors Black freedom, Black resistance, and centers Black people’s unique contribution to the struggle for justice in the US. The tragic murders of  Rayshard Brooks, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and countless others have renewed calls for justice and accountability. The Sierra Club proudly joins the Movement for Black Lives and the Six Nineteen mobilization in these three demands: Defund the Police, Invest in Black Communities, and Call for Donald Trump’s Resignation.
