The Watershed Institute stands in solidarity with people and institutions throughout the nation who are voicing and demonstrating their commitment to racial justice and equality. Environmental Justice—the universal human right to clean water, clean air, healthy land, and access to parks and public land—is inextricably linked to Racial Justice.
We grieve the loss of life, miscarriage of justice, and discrimination inflicted on Black Americans and other people of color and we decry the deep-seated racism at the core of the violence that has destroyed so many lives.
We pledge to rise to the challenge to help create a more equitable and just society.
