Join the library in welcoming Leah Thomas, author of The Intersectional Environmentalist: How to Dismantle Systems of Oppression To Protect People +Planet, for a discussion on the intersection between environmentalism, racism, and privilege, and how we cannot save the planet without protecting all of its people.  

Leah is a celebrated environmentalist based in Los Angeles, CA. Coining the term ‘eco-communicator’ to describe her style of environmental activism, Leah uses her passion for writing and creativity to explore and advocate for the critical yet often overlooked relationship between social justice and environmentalism.

Leah founded and launched the non-profit Intersectional Environmentalist, a platform and resource hub that aims to advocate for environmental justice, provide educational resources surrounding intersectional environmentalism, and promote inclusivity and accessibility within environmental education and movements in 2020 - which has since become a leading resource for diverse and accessible climate education. Designing innovative programs like London’s first Black EcoFeminist Summit and Earth Sessions community driven climate justice concerts.
