Lessons From the Field: Environmental Impacts of Segregation

Presented by the Redress Movement

On May 1st, The Redress Movement will be hosting the next installation of their webinar series: "Lessons from the Field" with a discussion around the environmental impacts of segregation. As communities across the globe fight for climate justice, we must consider that environmental racism has always been a core consequence of inequitable and discriminatory policymaking across the United States. Choices made by state, local, and federal policymakers continue to have myriad disproportionate environmental impacts on Black and brown communities.

We're incredibly excited to be joined by Collette Pichon Battle of Taproot Earth as our featured panelist:
