Regional Equity Initiative Manager
Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission
ONE STRUGGLE, TWO FRONTS!
Justice for our planet and justice for all people are two profound conversations that are happening simultaneously, but often in different rooms. Join us for an enlightening session on environmental justice as we explore the critical links between social equity and environmental sustainability, and discuss how addressing both is necessary for a thriving global community.
