Greens go off-message to back Black Lives Matter

摘要

Leaders of major green groups, outraged by last week's high-profile shootings, see this as prime time to step up their work on civil rights. Prompted by the killings of black men by police officers last week, several top environmentalists are pledging solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. They say their fight to protect the environment goes hand in hand with civil rights advocacy. They issued strongly worded statements condemning the recent killings and say they plan to mobilize their members to fight what they perceive as racial injustice.
