Creative Resistance: Fighting Toxins and Fossil Fuels
Tuesday April 4, 2017
7:00-9:00 pm
Sonja Hanes Stone Center Auditorium
150 South Rd, Chapel Hill, NC 27599
Free parking in Bell Tower Parking Deck, Bell Tower Dr.
How do you fit into climate change advocacy? How do toxins from fossil fuels affect our physical health, and our local economies and communities? How can people power help to “story” the facts and ethics within pursuits to address unequal toxic burdens, and promote science-based policy change?
In this public talk, Dr. Sandra Steingraber–an internationally awarded author and poet, cancer patient, persistent activist, and biological ecologist–engages our unique political moment to both welcome new advocates for environmental health, and to inspire communities fighting over the long term.
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, Eco-Robeson, Community Drumming Circle, and communities fighting to stop the Atlantic Coast Pipeline.
RSVP here please!!
