2025 Climate Reparations Summer Camp Interest Form
From August 4-7, 2025, ActionAid USA will be sponsoring a fully-funded (travel, room & board, programming included) for up to 25 young people (ages 18+) near New Orleans, LA.
Together, we will explore topics of global climate justice, including how climate justice in the United States is impossible without climate justice for our comrades around the world, especially in the Global South. We will connect domestic struggles around climate, reparations, land back, disaster care, sacrifice zones, and financial redistribution to the struggles of communities in the Global South who are also on the frontlines of climate disaster while at the same time fighting against legacies of colonialism, imperialism, and the ravages of global capitalism.
In the global context, we will explore the “Fair Shares” framework of understanding how different countries have different responsibilities for addressing the climate crisis – and how the United States has a particularly important role that it has never come close to accepting. Within the United States, our framing of climate reparations specifically centers and names occupation, slavery, genocide, and displacement from colonization.
We will envision futures in which the climate crisis does not inherently mean destruction for communities who have been and continue to be systematically extracted from, and we will support and empower participants to take forward organizing for global justice in their communities and with their local and national elected officials.
All of this learning and conversation will, of course, be contextualized within the current US political context. How does the rise of fascism and state repression affect our ability to organize for long-term global climate justice? How does racism and toxic politics around immigration affect our calls for care, community and solidarity? And how can our climate reparations campaigning support crucial short-term struggles against fascism and authoritarianism?
