At the first Democratic presidential debate, CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked the candidates to name the greatest national security threat to the United States. Bernie Sanders’ answer was climate change, and if you’re willing to investigate his website, you’ll find it addressed everywhere, including under “Racial Justice,” where he decries “environmental violence being inflicted on people of color.”
Sanders certainly isn’t the only progressive to argue that racism and climate change are intertwined.
You might not have known that climate activists are currently observing Break Free, a “two-week global wave of escalated action to keep coal, oil and gas in the ground.”

On Saturday, protesters in Albany, N.Y., united to stop the bomb train, “the presence of which is an act of environmental racism, class prejudice, and an illegal breach of the public trust.”
What’s a “bomb train”?
It’s a train carrying explosive crude oil, often through residential areas.
