DESCRIPTION:Wed, April 28, 7pm-8:30pm Pacific time\n\nRacism permeates every aspect of 
 society. The way environmental racism and climate change impact 
 marginalized populations can be seen and heard in the broader media 
 landscape, but the full extent of their effects on Black, Brown, and 
 Indigenous communities are often not fully seen or addressed. 
 \n\nEnvironmental racism is a form of systemic racism in which people of 
 color are disproportionately burdened with health hazards through policies 
 and practices that force them to live in proximity to sources of toxic 
 waste such as sewage works, mines, landfills, power stations, major roads, 
 and emitters of airborne particulate matter. As a result, these communities 
 suffer greater rates of health problems caused by hazardous pollutants. \n 
 \nFrom the recent news of environmental disasters across Texas, to the 
 Flint water crisis and the Dakota Access Pipeline, environmental racism is 
 deeply connected to our changing climate, and both must be addressed for 
 equity, safety, and the betterment of everyone. \n \nJoin co-founder of 
 Movement Generation: Justice and Ecology Project, Gopal Dayaneni and 
 community organizer and environmental justice advocate Carla Maria Perez 
 for a powerful conversation exploring the connections between environmental 
 racism and climate change and what we can do as individuals and communities 
 to address and heal from the harms of both.\n\nFree, suggested donation of 
 $10.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2021/04/13/18841582.php
