This year's Earth Day arrives at a moment when one global crisis ---- the COVID-19 pandemic ---- is layered over another: the climate crisis. Both highlight vast inequality ---- based on race, class, and nationality ---- and both require that educators of conscience do everything we can to help students make sense of these crises, and give students opportunities to take action.
Students can join this week's three-day extravaganza,
Earth Day Live
. From the organizers:
From April 22, the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, to April 24, activists, performers, thought leaders, and artists will come together for an empowering, inspiring, and communal three-day livestream mobilization.
And at the Zinn Education Project
Teach Climate Justice
site, you'll find the most comprehensive collection of climate justice curriculum resources available: role plays, mixers, simulations, poetry lessons, math and science activities, background articles, book and film suggestions, and more.
