The Politics of Heatwaves & the Impacts of Climate Change on Black Communities (ASPE)

Extreme heat is not just a natural disaster—it is the result of political and economic decisions that leave working-class Black communities with fewer resources, less protection, and greater exposure to climate change.

Join PACA for an interactive political education session — Assata Shakur Popular Education (ASPE) — examining how environmental racism, capitalist development, and unequal political power determine who bears the greatest burden of the climate crisis. Together, we’ll discuss why meaningful climate justice requires more than policy reforms—it demands a fundamental shift in who controls land, resources, and the decisions that shape our communities. Food and refreshments will be provided, and all are welcome.

Light snacks and refreshments will be provided!
