The EJ Summit is a unique, daylong event designed to connect community advocates, citizens, lawyers, and policymakers who are interested in the environment and its impacts on low-income people and people of color.
This event is geared to people in New England concerned with:
reducing toxins in food, consumer goods, homes and buildings
improving environmental health for urban residents
ensuring justice for laborers and low-income users of public transit
building the strength of grassroots environmental groups
securing laws to safeguard health for low-income people and people of color
Summit workshops will cover toxics and women’s health, energy justice, urban and rural environmental issues, food justice, and more. Lawyers interested in providing assistance to environmental grassroots groups may attend a workshop on Title VI. Other special features of the Summit will include a listening session with policymakers from each New England state discussing environmental justice issues.
Breakfast/Lunch/Child Care will be provided at no charge.
