This event brings together Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), LGBTQ+, and climate action communities with the aim of spreading knowledge and information about the climate crisis, its disproportionate effect on those who are marginalized, and what impacted communities are doing to combat environmental injustice. The climate movement can only thrive when the power of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities is elevated.

2025 SUMMIT FOR ACTION
Roots of Resistance: Breaking Chains, Building Justice
|
Roots of Resistance: Breaking Chains, Building Justice - In a world grappling with the dual crises of environmental degradation and systemic oppression, the call to resist and build anew has never been more urgent. "Roots of Resistance: Breaking Chains, Building Justice" delves into the intricate connections between social and environmental inequities, exposing how systems of power and privilege perpetuate harm to both people and the planet. This years theme invites a deep exploration of resistance as a tool for dismantling these oppressive systems, highlighting the courage, creativity, and collaboration of communities leading the charge for justice.
Through this lens, the summit will center stories of resistance against environmental destruction, from fighting extractive industries to challenging policies that exacerbate climate change. Participants will engage with frontline leaders, activists, and organizers who are combating climate denialism, reclaiming stolen lands, and protecting vital ecosystems. By drawing connections between environmental justice and struggles for survival and sovereignty, we will illuminate the shared roots of these battles and the collective power required to win them. This theme challenges attendees to consider how oppression manifests in environmental contexts, such as unequal access to clean water, air, and land, and how these injustices disproportionately affect marginalized communities. It also underscores the importance of collaborative resistance: partnerships across racial, cultural, and socioeconomic lines to forge a unified front against environmental harm and social inequities. |
