About this Event

Historically, Black and Brown communities have been disproportionately affected by climate change and environmental contamination—air pollution, water quality, lead exposure, and more. We have the power to create change!

All are welcome to learn about:

  • Green career opportunities
  • Current educational initiatives improving our environment
  • Ways YOU can take action in local sustainability efforts

Sean Terry - Associated Vice President, Ohio State Director - Trust for Public Lands

Nicole Lopez - Watershed Coordinator, Cuyahoga Soil and Water Conservation
