Hey GPE Girlies, ever wondered why it’s always our neighborhoods?

👀🤔 The air that feels heavier. The electric bill that keeps climbing. The block that floods every time it rains. The corner store with chips but no fresh food. That’s environmental injustice, and it’s personal to communities that look like ours. 💅🏽 You already see it. Now learn how to change it. Our advocacy and organizing training gives you the tools, the coaching and the peer support to make real change. The Girl + Environment Advocacy Institute: Environmental Justice Cohort is a five-month program for Black and Brown women, femmes and gender expansive folks in DC and Maryland. Together, we’ll build the organizing skills to turn what you see in your community into action. ✨ Learn to tell your story and build power with other people ✨ Shape a project rooted in your own community ✨ Coaching, a peer bestie, and a $500 stipend ✨ In partnership with National Geographic’s Slingshot Challenge December 2026 to April 2027. Mostly virtual, 1 to 3 hours a week. Priority deadline: Nov 13 Final deadline: Nov 22 Apply at the link in bio 💕
