Moving towards equitable climate action requires building and strengthening relationships that have historically been undervalued and under cultivated. To begin (re)building these relationships, Second Nature is bringing together colleges and universities from across the Midwest to intentionally focus on how we communicate and build solidarity across our differences to move climate action forward. During this event we are centering the voices of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to more fully hear the perspectives, knowledge, and wisdom of how we join together to collectively move forward.
