Introducing the Black Liberation and Just Transition Certification Program
The Chisholm Legacy Project has launched its Black Liberation and Just Transition Certification Program. This transformative initiative prepares participants to lead climate justice efforts using the Just Transition framework, which guides us in moving from an extractive economy based on greed to a regenerative economy based on deep democracy, sustainability, and solidarity.
The program has a total of 18 courses that explore a range of topics at the intersection of climate and environmental justice and Black Liberation.

Shirley Chisholm: Words of Wisdom
"We Americans have a chance to become someday a nation in which all racial stocks and classes can exist in their own selfhoods, but meet on a basis of respect and equality and live together, socially, economically, and politically."
"You don't make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas."
"Service is the rent that you pay for room on this earth."
