From: <NorthCommons@groups.io> on behalf of "amy@aperlmutter.com" <amy@aperlmutter.com> Date: Monday, April 26, 2021 at 5:16 PM To: North Commons <NorthCommons@groups.io> Subject: [NorthCommons] Event on Environmental Justice Dear Neighbors On May 6 I am organizing a virtual event (from 6-7:30 PM) for the Boson Area Sustainability Group on the topic of Environmental Justice. I thought some of you might find it of interest. The event is open to all (whether you live in the Boston Area or not!) It will feature four amazing speakers, and time for q&a: Dr. Daniel Faber, whose many impressive hats include Director of the Northeastern Environmental Justice Research Collaborative (NEJRC) Melanie Gerate, Climate justice advocate and director of climate resilience projects focusing on extreme heat, flooding, and social inequities at the Mystic River Watershed Association Meleny Thomas, Executive Director of the South Baltimore Community Land trust, fighting pollution in South Baltimore, including the trash incinerator Frances Roberts-Gregory, PhD Candidate at UC Berkeley whose research focuses on how women of color in Gulf Coast Louisiana navigate contradictory relationships with energy and petrochemical industries, resist environmental racism, and advocate for environmental, energy, and climate justice. It should be an illuminating evening. More information about the speakers, event details and registration can be found here Please feel free to share widely.
