(Full Event Details) Join Communities for a Better Environment & CBE Action for our February statewide meeting to honor Black EJ leaders who have been at the forefront of environmental justice movements. We will share their stories of combatting environmental racism and the unequal vulnerabilities they face – pollution, unsafe drinking water and toxic land – while also paving the way to safety and liberation.
We’ll also share updates from Oakland’s upcoming special election season and explore ways to apply lessons to municipal races statewide, while focusing on engaging communities most impacted by environmental issues to make sure our leaders are accountable and trustworthy.
Finally, hear from past Congreso participants who lobbied in Sacramento for Environmental Justice and learn how you can join this year! It’s never too late to start planning for a trip to visit our state capital and make your voices heard. Together, in Sacramento, we will push for progressive legislation that will improve the quality of our lives and take strides towards a Just Transition.
