Did you know that only 1.3% of the U.S.-based climate funding goes to Black, indigenous, and people of color-led environmental justice groups? The Climate Funder’s Justice Pledge calls on foundations to do better in the fight for climate justice. Donors of Color Network, a philanthropic group dedicated to funding racial equity efforts, has asked the top 40 climate funders to disclose precisely what percentage of their funding during these past two years went to organizations led by BIPOC communities. They are requesting funders to pledge at least 30% of their climate donations to such groups. Rev Yearwood speaks with guests Daniel Deane, climate adviser of Donors of Color network, and Miya Yoshitani, executive director of the Asian Pacific Environmental Network. They discuss the effort to fund racially diverse climate groups and how that is gaining momentum.

S3 Ep:24 Donors of Color w/ Danielle Deane and Miya Yoshitani

They also discuss showing up authentically as an organizer; and what it means to light a fire within -- rather than under -- communities whose voices have often gone unheard.You can learn more about Miya Yoshitani's work at peoplesaction.org/nextmove.Miya is on twitter @miya_yosh.People’s Action is a national network of 40 state and local grassroots, power-building organizations united in fighting for justice. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
