DESCRIPTION:The first week of the 2009 Climate Summit in Copenhagen, Denmark was marked 
 by mass protests and meetings by activists at the forefront of the global 
 Environmental Justice movement.  Two longtime local activists with 
 international ties will offer a "Report Back from Copenhagen." Christie 
 Keith, International Co-Coordinator of Global Alliance for Incinerator 
 Alternatives (GAIA) and Gopal Dayaneni of Movement Generation Justice and 
 Ecology Project, will each discuss their work at the Climate Summit, with 
 an emphasis on how those outside of the G8 resist, renarrate and work to 
 restore the health of their communities.  Keith and Dayaneni will 
 contextualize their experiences in Copenhagen within the larger framework 
 of their everyday work and the EJ movement broadly.  And they will offer a 
 sense of next steps.\n\nFEATURED PANELISTS:\n\nChristie Keith,
