[EXTERNAL] 2024 Black Climate Leadership Summit

*Application required

ARE YOU GOING TO BE IN NEW YORK FOR CLIMATE WEEK NYC?

If so, join Taproot Noire, a formation rooted in Taproot Earth, for our annual Black Climate Leadership Summit during Climate Week NYC in 2024. This year's theme, “Connecting Land + Black Liberation" is a powerful and meaningful exploration of the intersections between climate justice, relationship to land, and collective liberation. Drawing inspiration from the seminal speech "Connecting the Struggles: An Informal Talk with Black Americans" by the legendary Amilcar Cabral, this Black-exclusive space will provide a vital opportunity for participants to come together, connect with one another, and deepen their shared understanding of the critical issues facing Black communities across the Gulf South, Appalachia, and the global South.

By centering Black voices, experiences, and solutions, the summit aims to cultivate a safe, liberated, and joyful environment where attendees can freely engage in the crucial work of advancing climate justice and collective liberation. In recognition of the limited space available, we have implemented a "Application to Attend" process, ensuring that the curation of this transformative convening prioritizes the creation of a truly safe and empowered space for all. Interested participants are encouraged to complete the request form, after which they will receive a confirmation of their attendance and the details of the summit's location and timing.

For any further questions or inquiries, the Taproot Noire team can be reached at noire@taproot.earth, ready to provide additional guidance and support.
