Morimoto, David
Hello,
Please see the link below for a schedule of sessions that we have planned around Climate Justice this year. (Each session is tagged as either being the Dimension track or Climate Justice track).
***This event is free and open to the public, and you are welcome to participate in as few or as many sessions as you would like to attend.***
I hope you can join for at least some of the sessions. It is our great hope that we can begin to forge community partnerships around advancing green equity and climate justice. Come tell us what you are doing and see what we and some of our alum are doing at Lesley!
We are really excited about Mardi Fuller being our Keynote and who will speak about Advancing Racial Equity in Nature.
