#black #USA #US In a seven-state survey conducted by HIT Strategies for the Climate Equity Action Fund and the League of Conservation Voters, only 9 percent of Black registered voters ranked climate change among their top three issues motivating them to vote, compared with 74 percent who selected the cost of living At the same time, most respondents said they wanted climate policy to be a top issue for their elected officials https://grist.org/equity/for-black-voters-climate-action-means-little-without-relief-from-rising-costs/ #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #climate
For Black voters, climate action means little without relief from rising costs

For Black voters, climate action means little without relief from rising costs

Concerns about utility bills, data centers, and pollution show why Black Americans want action from elected officials.

Did you know that #Poles were considered #black for a moment in time? After #Napoleon sent some 5200 poles to #Haiti in 1802, 4000 quickly died of yellow fever, but those remaining were enthralled by their 'enemy'. To the Poles, the Haitians fought for the same things they were missing: freedom from oppression. Consequently, some 500 would join the Haitians against the French forces. Feeling like they shared the burden of tyranny with those new Polish friends, the first Haitian emperor, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, declared the Poles "NOIR" (black) after Haiti's independence. He had been inspired to the move by Haitian historian Louis Boisrond-Tonnerre, who had called the Poles "the white negroes of Europe". #history
