Grassroots Events for Environmental Justice during United Nations World Environment Week!

June 1- June 5 San Francisco is hosting the U.N. World Environment Week.
Those slated to attend the conference include UN Secretary General Kofi
Annan, Klaus Toepfer, executive director of the United Nations Environment
Program, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and mayors from London,
Shanghai, Kabul, Buenos Aires, Sydney, Phnom Penh, Jakarta, Rome, and
Istanbul.

"I look forward to working closely with leaders of the world's major cities
to establish guidelines for environmentally sensible urban life," Newsom
said. "This conference is a remarkable opportunity for all of us."

This is truly a remarkable opportunity for all of us...because poor communities of color are NEVER invited to the eco-elite table!
