Environmental Injustice: Race, Class, and Toxic Inequality
Monday, June 16th at 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Join a three-part series exploring the intersection of racial inequality and the environment.
Wed. June 4th, 6:30 PM to 8 PM ~ Part 1 delves into the systemic roots of environmental racism and confronts a critical question: Why are communities of color and low-wealth populations disproportionately exposed to environmental hazards?
Mon. June 16th, 6:30 PM to 8 PM ~ Part 2 explores the situation today. Leaders from across the country share solutions to environmental crises within their communities and discuss a new urgent challenge – the roll back of fundamental protections at the federal level.
Thu. June 26th, 6:30 PM to 8 PM ~ Part 3 imagines a future free from the race and class based divides that determine who is — and isn’t — protected from toxins, pollutants, flooding, and the impacts of global warming.
