Virtual Webinar

 

Please join us for a conversation about environmental justice with Dr. Ana Baptista. We’ll talk about what environmental justice is, New Jersey’s Environmental Justice Law and what it means, what’s next for the EJ movement in New Jersey, and the role that allies can play. 

 

Dr. Baptista’s work is focused on advancing environmental justice through collaboration with communities on issues ranging from cumulative impacts, air pollution, local planning tools for environmental justice and zero waste systems. 

 

Her current practice includes research on the equity implications of state level climate change and energy policies and the launch of a national Environmental Justice Movement Fellowship program for EJ activists around the country. 

 

Ana serves on the Board of Trustees for the Ironbound Community Corporation, the New Jersey Environmental Justice Alliance (NJEJA), the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA) and the Victoria Foundation. 

This event will be 100% virtual. Recordings will be shared with attendees after the event.
