“We are all eyewitnesses to climate change, and we all have stories to tell. In celebration of the new book, Eyewitness, written by Minnesotans calling for action on climate change, Climate Generation: A Will Steger Legacy is offering a virtual series to uplift and listen to a diverse range of voices who will share stories that influence our social and political reality in compelling ways.
The Critical Intersection of Racial Injustice and Climate Change
In the first workshop: witness art, music, and storytelling from special guests Ben Passer of Fresh Energy, Maria Isa, and Ricardo Levins Morales Art Studio.

The climate crisis is disproportionately and immediately impacting our Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities. Climate justice is racial justice. A better world is possible — for all of us, and our reality is demanding it now.
Join us to take action together and use your voice for climate justice. You’ll have an opportunity to write a letter to your legislators calling for policy change.”
