Summer of Solidarity Training Session: “Environmental Justice”

Posted in
Date: 
Saturday, August 22, 2020 - 10:00am - 12:00pm
Location: 
Zoom Webinar

These are weekly Zoom meetings sponsored by WISDOM and EXPO covering community organizing approaches and social justice topics of concern in the state and region during the summer of 2020. August 22 is the last scheduled session.

Discussions of the environment are very strongly connected to discussion of racial and economic equity.  When we degrade the natural world that sustains our life, the first people to be hurt are low-income folks, people of color and other people who are marginalized by those in power and distorted social and economic systems. (To make it even a little worse, there is a widely-believed false narrative that anti-environmental policies are somehow creators of jobs for working people. Not only is that narrative false, it is part of the insidious effort to divide us.)

To sign up for this Saturday, please fill out this form:   https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYpcOmqqTwsGdGmQRCSxffroqKHWetS7_RS

Presentations are being recorded, and are available at: https://www.rocwisconsin.org/summer-of-solidarity-training-series/

For the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, we're asking you to make a protest sign, take a picture with it using the hashtag #StrikeFromHome, tag us @wiconservationvoters and your decision makers, while asking them to commit to 100% clean energy. Let's make a big impact!

Tuesday, April 21 – 4:30 pm

Labor and Clean Energy Forum   As clean energy becomes more affordable and the consequences of inaction become more dire, we can expect to see the clean energy sector grow steadily. Dr. Jon Shelton, a Democracy and Justice Studies professor and labor expert at UW-Green Bay, will join Jesse Michalski, a Project Manager for Eland Electric and member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, to discuss what cross-sections of labor and clean energy could look like in the near future.
