SUMMARY:Black Birders Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:Graphic designed by Sheridan Alford and Danielle Bettany. \nThe inaugural Black Birders Week took place in 2020 and quickly became a viral movement. This now-annual event addresses the challenges Black birdwatchers face\, such as underrepresentation and overt racism\, while shedding light on how justice and equity play a part in the conservation field and recreational birding. \nEach day of Black Birders Week features a different theme and Twitter hashtag that promote diversity in birdwatching while celebrating Black culture. The founders envisioned that this event could be a springboard to shape a more diverse\, inclusive future for birding\, conservation\, and the natural sciences. \nYou can learn more details about the week’s events at blackafinstem.com. \n“The birds and the outdoors are for all of us to enjoy. Don’t let anybody make you think otherwise\, and don’t let anyone deny you the tremendous joy\, wonder\, and sense of well-being that being outdoors and looking at and listening to birds can bring.” ~ Christian Cooper \nIf you have a #BlackBirdersWeek event that you would like added to the community calendar\, please contact Communications & Marketing Coordinator Molly Keenan at mkeenan@michiganaudubon.org.
