DESCRIPTION: Join us at our September Book Club meeting to discuss “The Int
	ersectional Environmentalist: How to Dismantle Systems of Oppression to Pr
	otect People + Planet” by Leah Thomas! It’s a short read so we will be dis
	cussing the entire book on 9/28. \n Whether you're a seasoned activist or 
	a curious newcomer\, live in the PNW or beyond\, all are welcome to join t
	he Animal Rights Collective Portland (ARCPDX) Book Club! \n ABOUT THE BOOK
	: From the activist who coined the term comes a primer on intersectional e
	nvironmentalism for the next generation of activists looking to create mea
	ningful\, inclusive\, and sustainable change.\nThe Intersectional Environm
	entalist examines the inextricable link between environmentalism\, racism\
	, and privilege\, and promotes awareness of the fundamental truth that we 
	cannot save the planet without uplifting the voices of its people — especi
	ally those most often unheard. Written by Leah Thomas\, a prominent voice 
	in the field and the activist who coined the term "Intersectional Environm
	entalism\," this book is simultaneously a call to action\, a guide to inst
	igating change for all\, and a pledge to work towards the empowerment of a
	ll people and the betterment of the planet.\nThomas shows how not only are
	 Black\, Indigenous and people of color unequally and unfairly impacted by
	 environmental injustices\, but she argues that the fight for the planet l
	ies in tandem to the fight for civil rights\; and in fact\, that one canno
	t exist without the other. An essential read\, this book addresses the mos
	t pressing issues that the people and our planet face\, examines and disma
	ntles privilege\, and looks to the future as the voice of a movement that 
	will define a generation.\n For more information\, including content warni
