Description
Rev. Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition demonstrated that justice movements are strongest when they connect across issues and identities. Environmental justice continues that legacy today. In Minnesota and beyond, questions of air quality, water access, climate resilience, housing stability, immigration enforcement, and economic opportunity are deeply intertwined.
This panel brings together leaders working at the intersection of policy, community organizing, and environmental equity to explore how environmental justice can serve as a unifying lens in a time of fragmentation. What happens when environmental policy, racism, economic inequality, and educational access collide in real communities? How can coalition-building move us from protest to durable power?
Panelists: Dr. Walter Greason, Valentine Cadieux, Justin Lewandowski, Princess Titus
