How do\u00a0you\u00a0fit into climate change advocacy? How do toxins from fossil fuels affect our physical health, and our local\u00a0economies and communities? How can people power help to “story” the facts and ethics within pursuits to address\u00a0unequal toxic burdens, and promote science-based policy change?<\/p>\n

In this public talk, Dr.\u00a0Sandra\u00a0Steingraber–an internationally awarded author and poet, cancer patient, persistent activist,\u00a0and biological ecologist–engages our unique political moment to both welcome new advocates for environmental health,\u00a0and to inspire communities fighting over the long term.<\/p>\n

This event invites multiple perspectives into dialogue on environmental, health, racial, and economic justice. Opening for Dr. Steingraber by Rev. Rodney Sadler, NC NAACP. Immediately after join us for a panel discussion with water science expert, Dr. Ryan Emmanuel, as well as community members fighting back against these toxic impacts here in NC with representatives of Appalachian Voices, ACT Against Coal Ash, No Fracking in Stokes,\u00a0Eco-Robeson, Community Drumming Circle, and communities fighting to stop the Atlantic Coast Pipeline.<\/p>\n

Planning organizers are from<\/strong>: Triangle Branch Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom * \u00a0Breast Cancer Action * 350 Triangle * NC NAACP * Appalachian Voices * NC Interfaith Power & Light * NC Environmental Justice Network * Haw River Assembly<\/p>\n
