Learn how race, gender, and class intersect to affect environmentalism with activist, writer, and intersectional environmentalist Leah Thomas. She breaks down what intersectional environmentalism really is, why conservationists should embrace anti-racism, and how a single, powerful post on social media ignited a movement.
