Racial Equity and Justice Forum: Climate Justice

Racial E & J Forum/West Fairmount Hill Community

This Forum engages us in exploring the Environmental Justice work at hand and the ways in we can be engaged with it and be sources of change

“The environmental justice (EJ) movement grew out of a response to the system of environmental racism where communities of color and low-income communities have been (and continue to be) disproportionately exposed to and negatively impacted by hazardous pollution and industrial practices. Its roots are in the civil rights movement, and are in sharp contrast to the mainstream environmental movement, which has failed to understand or address this injustice. The EJ movement emphasizes bottom-up organizing, centering the voices of those most impacted, and shared community leadership.” Climate Justice Alliance Keynote: Rev. Mariama White-Hammond, Chief of Environment, Energy and Open Space, (EEOS) City of Boston, and founder of New Roots AME ChurchPanel Discussion:Rob Consalvo, MA State Representative, 14th SuffolkDwaign Tyndal, Executive Director, Alternatives for Community and Environment (ACE)Jose Masso, Hyde Park resident and activist, Hall of Fame BroadcasterLokita Jackson, Hyde Park resident, Crane Ledge Woods Coalition convenerEdward Markey (invited), United States Senator, Massachusetts
