Presidio Stands Against Hate
Our community stands with the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. Climate change interacts with and worsens existing societal inequalities shaped by racism and poverty.
A truly sustainable future must address and grapple with the interconnectedness of systemic racism, environmental justice, and bigotry related to the impact of climate change on marginalized communities.
We seek to equip ethical leaders with the tools to take action against oppressive systems using an approach that considers our most impacted voices and communities.
