Uprooting Environmental Injustice: Centering our healing and connection to the Earth

Thursday, February 11th at 6:30pm

The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the damaging and traumatic impacts of systemic racism. We have been overwhelmed with anxiety, grief, and rage as we see our communities heavily impacted by preexisting health conditions, high-risk work environments, and other environmental injustices that are rooted in white supremacist structures. Centering our healing and strengthening our connection to the Earth and each other becomes crucial in these moments of despair and hopelessness. Environmental Justice Alliance invites you to join us in a conversation to center/prioritize ourselves and reconnect with the land and our environment. This will be a flexible space for facilitated discussion, listening, journaling and art. You are not required to come with a piece of writing or art made already – we will set aside time for that if you wish to make and/or share. This space is intended to uplift and center QTBIPOC, so please be respectful of this space.
