What Would Real Environmental Health
& Justice Look Like?
Tomorrow, Tuesday, May 11, 2021 -
1:00-2:00 p.m. ET
All journalists welcome!
Join this
all-star panel for a snapshot of the state of environmental health and
justice right now, ahead of the new White House Environmental
Justice Advisory Council meeting later this week. Panelists will discuss
what's happening in local communities and at the national level, and will
offer story ideas for the coming year on both the problems and solutions
to the challenges of protecting environmental health and equity. Following
Q&A with the speakers, SEJ will take your questions about the Fund for Environmental
Journalism story grants on this topic.
