Resources for Antiracist & Antioppression Work in (and beyond) the City Tech Library

Recommended Antiracism / Antioppression Resources, March compiled by Nanette and Nora

This month we wanted to highlight some resources about environmental racism. Nanette and I found some articles that discuss how urban planning and development effect the health of low income and BIPOC communities who are also disproportionately impacted by climate change.

• Michaela Keil. “Land Grab.” Brooklyn Rail.

• Brian Abate. “Fight for Last Mile Warehouses to Use Waterfront Continues.” Red Hook Star.

• “Report Reveals Inequities in the Exposure to the Urban Heat Island in New York City.” WE ACT For Environmental Justice.

• Kalyn Womack. “Brooklyn Residents Protest Pipeline that Passes White Neighborhoods but Beelines through Black Ones.” The Root.
