Jacqui Patterson Accepts Her TIME Earth Award Presented By Shailene Woodley

Intersectional climate activist Jacqui Patterson received the Earth Award, honoring leaders working to advance climate justice, on Tuesday evening during the 2024 TIME Women of the Year gala in West Hollywood.
Patterson is the founder and executive director of the Chisholm Legacy Project, which helps connect Black communities that are being disproportionately impacted by the climate crisis with the resources they need to create systematic change across connected challenges.
“Whereas bigger nonprofits largely take on single issues, her organization, the Chisholm Legacy Project, addresses environmental issues, poverty, racial discrimination, and gender inequality together-all of which have combined to pose enormous challenges for at-risk communities,” said actress and climate activist Shailene Woodley, who presented Patterson with the honor.
Patterson began her acceptance speech by contemplating all the people who were not present in the room, reflecting on her journey to success and acknowledgement.
