Read This: How We Can Build an Anti-Racist Outdoor Industry

If you haven’t already, sit down and take a few minutes to read Ayesha McGowan’s article over at Outside Online.

Don’t just focus on Black grief and Black death. Include Black joy. We are more than our struggle, we aren’t just fighting to stop being murdered, we are fighting for the right and the ability to live full lives. We want to ride bikes, climb mountains, traverse slot canyons, and surf waves. Black folks deserve to enjoy the outdoors in every way. We all have to work together in order to make that experience feel truly free so that Black people don’t have to risk our lives to enjoy it.
