Coal Blooded Action Toolkit - Climate Access

Introduction to Conducting Community EducationThe most important part of the Coal Blooded Toolkit is engaging NAACP members, community members,elected officials and the Coal industry to work together to end the environmental injustice and the healthdisparities that are plaguing the African American community. The most powerful tool we have at ourdisposal is education – facts, figures, and scientific knowledge are at the core of the Environmental andClimate Justice Program. In order to make substantial changes within the current system we have toensure that all NAACP members and members of the community are aware of the pollutants and toxinsthat are currently in the environment, we do this through Town Hall Meetings, Power Point Presentations,and Screenings of the “Coal Blooded: Putting Profits Before People” video. We then work with local officialsto galvanize them to make critical and significant changes within their jurisdiction. The only way we will beable to accomplish this is through education and cooperation from the Coal factories and electriccompanies. We need to bring everyone to the table to make these changes.NAACP Coal Blooded Action Toolkit24 | P a g e
