Mass Movements with Patrisse Cullors | A People's Climate

This is when people-powered movements matter most.

In this episode of A People’s Climate, host Shilpi Chhotray sits down with Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, artist, abolitionist, and author. They explore the deep connections between racial justice, environmental justice, and the fight for a more just and caring world.

From her childhood experiences in Los Angeles to organizing around police brutality, climate justice, and cultural work, Patrisse shares why her vision is rooted in care, creativity, and nonviolent action.

Together, they unpack what it means to build coalitions across movements, resist systemic violence, and imagine a future beyond just survival.
