“It’s no exaggeration to say that racism and white
supremacy harm all of us,” says Hop Hopkins, the Sierra Club’s
director of strategic partnerships. “In addition to robbing us of
our humanity, racism is also killing the planet we all share. An
idea—a long-overdue realization—is growing in the environmental
movement. I really believe in my heart of hearts—after a lifetime
of thinking and talking about these issues—that we will never
survive the climate crisis without ending white supremacy.

The marches and rallies in support of The Movement
for Black Lives have been overwhelmingly peaceful, amid the violent
repression they have suffered, fanned by Donald Trump’s incendiary
rhetoric. Regardless of his attempts to asphyxiate everything that
is decent in our country, his construction of a wall around the
White House, and his hiding from the American people, Trump now
lives right across the street from what used to be Lafayette
Square, which DC Mayor Muriel Bowser renamed Black Lives Matter
Plaza earlier this month. The country and its political system must
work for all of us, no matter where we are from, our gender, or the
color of our skin.
"There will be no peace without
justice—for all."
