Hey all,
Like I mentioned at the event in Somerville a couple weeks ago, I'm with an environmental/public health nonprofit called
Toxics Action Center. For the past 26
years, we've been putting on a really great annual conference about
grassroots environmental organizing and we'd love to have some fellow PLOTS folks there. (We'll be having a PLOTS workshop at the conference!)
The Local Environmental Action Conference will be held Sunday, March 2nd at Northeastern University in Boston (in the Curry Student Center).
All registration prices include breakfast and lunch. Students get in for just $20!
Local Environmental Action is a joint effort of Toxics Action Center and MCAN, the Massachusetts Climate Action Network.
Toxics Action Center’s mission is to work side-by-side
with communities, providing them with the skills and resources needed to
prevent or clean up pollution at the local level. Since 1987, we have
organized over 700 communities across New England to put together the
plans and strategies to effectively solve the problems they face. In
doing so, we train neighbors to not only defend their health and safety,
but to think strategically and come together for proactive, positive
change. In our 25 year history, we have helped win hundreds of campaigns
to protect the health of citizens and neighborhoods across the region.
MCAN is a statewide organization that
coordinates the work of locally organized groups across Massachusetts
fighting the climate crisis. We have a large and vigorous community of
46 chapters (in a fifth of MA communities), hundreds of members, and
others who communicate, network, and share information related to
climate action.
