We are Rachel's Network.

Rachel’s Network community members are invited to join us this spring and summer to read, discuss, and celebrate Before The Streetlights Come On: Black America’s Urgent Call for Climate Solutions, by Rachel’s Network Catalyst Awardee and climate champion Heather McTeer Toney. In this book, Heather brings her background in politics, community advocacy, and environmental justice leadership to this revolutionary exploration of why and how Black Americans are uniquely qualified to lead national and global conversations around racial disparity and solutions to the climate crisis.

Join 2022 Catalyst Awardee Zulene Mayfield to learn about her work for environmental justice and health in Chester, PA. Since 1992, Zulene has led Chester Residents Concerned for Quality Living (CRCQL), a group of residents battling environmental racism. In the last 30 years, CRCQL has successfully fought off the nation’s largest processor of infectious medical waste, three proposed tire burning facilities, two processors of contaminated soil, and a large pet crematorium, to name a few.

In this Catalyzing Conversation, moderated by member Abi Rome, learn about Zulene’s organizing strategy and how funders can elevate and support the work grassroots leaders who are protecting the health of people and the planet.
