What inspired you to get involved in climate justice work?

Learning that climate/environmental injustices are the primary drivers of forced displacement and migration, locally and globally. Because many other injustices have a climate/environmental element, this work also becomes soil for solidarity-building among those most impacted. I believe psychological research and practice should support these efforts.

What excites you most about working with the Hub? 

The opportunity to learn from and contribute to a justice movement that uplifts multiple generations, social locations, types of expertise, artistic legacies, and cultural traditions.
