The intersection of race and environmental discrimination has become more apparent during the pandemic given that low-income communities of color, and immigrant communities, are disproportionately affected. Climate change is an additional factor that harms these neighborhoods, creating climate refugees. Meanwhile, the ‘green economy’ is providing a means for individuals to address climate disparities as well as to benefit from the economic opportunities presented by this growing industry. Join Iván Espinoza-Madrigal, Esq., Executive Director of Lawyers for Civil Rights, for a discussion of these challenges and how organizations are seeking to address them.

Registration for this program will remain open up until the event starts. The Zoom login information is sent automatically once registration is complete, and then again one day, and one hour before the session starts. Please be sure to check your spam folder in case it lands there.
