Friend, The fight for climate justice was just dealt a huge blow. Today, the Supreme Court ruled in West Virginia v. EPA to limit the federal government’s ability to regulate carbon emissions—effectively removing protections from air pollution and climate change that we have been fighting for decades. Pollution and other climate poisons come for Black and Brown communities first. The climate crisis is not an equal opportunity oppressor, and our people will be the ones to bear the brunt of the effects of pollution. By giving a green light to polluters, the Supreme Court has once again put corporations over our communities. But, Friend, make no mistake, this decision has only reinforced our drive to expand the power of the climate movement and keep pushing for the protections we deserve. Climate impacts are life and death issues, which is why Hip Hop Caucus works tirelessly for climate action that will stop and reverse the impacts of this existential crisis before it’s too late. Our Think 100% campaign creates solutions to address the climate catastrophe we’re facing, empowers Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities, and takes a stand against greedy corporate polluters.
