Learn about #BlackBirdersWeek
Black Birders Week is an annual event that addresses the challenges Black birdwatchers face, including underrepresentation and overt racism, and a springboard to shape a more diverse future for birding, conservation, and the natural sciences.
If you want to learn more about this event, check out “Outdoors Online: Organizing #BlackBirdersWeek” at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 24 via Zoom with Tykee James, an organizer of Black Birders Week and government affairs coordinator for National Audubon Society. James will share how and why this now-viral movement came about, lessons learned in 2020, and what he sees for the future.
James navigates the environmental advocacy space as someone who sees the intersectionality between conservation issues and racial progress. Throughout his career, James has found a way to advocate for birds and the environment through the lenses of justice and equity.
