Action Track: Social Justice

Social Justice & Climate Change: The Links Between Two Movements

Welcome to our new Social Justice 'Action Track'! You can use Action Tracks to focus your EcoChallenge on a specific theme that runs through all of the other categories. All actions within the Social Justice Action Track are social justice-themed and exist within other categories. Once you select an action here, it will automatically be selected in any category it is duplicated within. We encourage you to select actions you can truly commit to while giving yourself room to learn and grow within your commitments.
