Change Under Pressure
Instances of immense social change have shown us that under pressure, change can happen more swiftly than we've traditionally come to expect. Through dialogue with our inspiring speakers, we will explore the interconnections between environmental, racial, and climate justice and envision ways in which we can act to address the most pressing issues of our time. Topics of discussion will include indigenous communities, sustainable agriculture, sustainable designs, justice/advocacy/mobilizing, zero waste, and more! We can't wait to see you there!
