No doubt, we are living in an exciting moment for climate action and activism. The energy around the Green New Deal has incited a national conversation around solutions to the climate crisis— solutions that are based in the real, systemic, transformative change that is needed to meet the scale of what science and justice demand. Movement leaders, activists, politicians, and academics are seizing the opportunity to shape the vision of what this systemic overhaul could look like, how it would happen, and who it would center.
This coalition of women’s rights and climate justice organizations came together in early 2019 in recognition that feminist analysis must be part of this discourse. In a conversation focused on envisioning a healthy planet and communities, these groups knew that gender equality was-and is-key. A feminist intervention was necessary. The Feminist Agenda for a Green New Deal, thus, was borne from collective generation, and the future of its campaigns and initiatives, through Fall 2019 and beyond, will also be collectively determined.
