As we honor #AmplifyMelanatedVoices & #WorldEnvironmentDay we discuss a very important topic: Intersectional Environmentalism.
"Race is the number one indicator for the placement of toxic facilities in this country." - NAACP
The NAACP Environmental and Climate Justice Program was created to support community leadership in addressing this human and civil rights issue.
At ECOFashion Corp. we are a social purpose brand that cares not only about the planet but also the people on it. YES AND is more than just a clothing brand— we are a collective of concerned, fashion-loving individuals. We have a responsibility to share what we learn so we can all rise together.
We all live under the canopy together. As environmentalists and humans, we must support Black, Indigenous + POC communities.
