Details
Join a discussion to explore the traditional image of environmentalists. What are the assumptions made about communities of color in regards to environmental and sustainability issues?  What is the truth behind such prejudgments?  Do minorities feel represented? Is there a lack of trust between traditional environmentalists and communities of color?  How do these communities define environmentalism and their relationship to urban waterways and their environs?  What steps have been taken to make the table more inclusive? 
Panelists include Dennis Chesnut, Groundwork Anacostia, Vaughn Perry, Anacostia Watershed Society, Omar Bagnied, Green Muslims, Noel Lopez, NPS, Beth Lynk, NAACP Climate Justice Committee, and Mike Ewall, Energy Justice Network.  Moderating the panel is Vernice Miller-Travis, SKEO Solutions.
