Environmental Justice means focusing attention on the concerns of community members who are suffering because local pollution exceeds the norms in other communities that may be whiter or wealthier. When CCLers want to build relationships with EJ organizers, it's critical to understand past and present injustices, move at the speed of trust, and bring humility and respect to the conversation. Join Climate & Environmental Justice Action Team Leaders Debbie Chang and Lisa Danz for a session that gives background on the Environmental Justice movement and provide strategies for building relationships.

Join CCL's Education & Resilience Coordinator, Tamara Staton, for an interactive workshop on climate leadership, where she explores with you the power of resilience and create time & opportunity to explore your own roadmap to resilience.
Climate advocacy can be grueling work, exacerbated by political conditions, societal upheaval and natural disasters. Resilience is an important component of restoring and maintaining the mental health, vitality and organizational energy of our volunteers and staff. In other words, building resilience can help each and all of us realize our dream of creating a livable world. We all know that this is the long game.
