The Uproot Project is a network with a mission to bring diverse voices to the forefront of environmental and climate journalism. Open to journalists of all backgrounds, the Uproot Project’s purpose is to uplift and support journalists of color, who have long been underrepresented in the journalism industry. Members can strengthen their careers through community-building, professional development, and access to resources while contributing to a more equitable and impactful media landscape.
