Womxn Act for Climate Justice -International Women’s Day

March 8, 2021 @ 11:30 am

Womxn Act for Climate Justice will host an online event  highlighting the struggles and solutions of womxn climate leaders in the WECAN network. During the interactive gathering, organizers look forward to sharing with you inspiring updates from WECAN regional coordinators and allies, as well as exploring some of our plans and vision for 2021 and how you can be involved.

We are committed and steadfast in our collective and ceaseless fight for Indigenous rights, Black liberation, gender equity, rights of nature, true democracies, climate justice, and the protection of this planet we hold so dear. We are inspired by womxn and feminists who are leading resistance movements, building climate solutions, and re-imagining a future grounded in justice and care globally. The small window of opportunity for acting on the climate crisis is already upon us— now is the time for systemic change and building the just and healthy world we seek.
