OCAL and Statewide Perspectives on Environmental Justice
Thursday, February 25, 2021 at 4 PM
Erie Coke closed its doors in December 2019 after years of environmental violations that disproportionately impacted Environmental Justices communities. In September 2020, Erie County declared racism as a public health crisis. Join Allison Acevedo and Sarah Bennett to learn what environmental justice is, how it impacts the Erie community, and what can be done to create a future where low income people and people of color are no longer disproportionately impacted by environmental degradation and pollution. This event will be broadcast digitally on the Jefferson's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/JeffersonErie) and made available on our website (jeserie.org)
