Climate Change Warriors: We Are The Storm!

This video calls artists of color to support the environmental health of their own communities, lifting up their potential to use creative superpowers to show the impact of climate change and ecological injustice. We need art that is as beautiful as the communities we are trying to protect if we are to survive and thrive on this planet! We believe art has the power to move the climate conversation in a new direction. Artists can challenge the status quo of the environmental movement by lifting up the voices of underrepresented communities and engaging artists who might not otherwise have seen themselves as agents of change.
