Join us for “Green Amendments: Transforming Environmental Rights from Rhetoric to Reality”, our 2nd Annual Green Amendment Day, to dive into the transformation of environmental change from rhetoric on signs and documents, to a viable reality for the people!

On Wednesday, July 13th, we are hosting a day of opportunity and collaboration as we dive into how Green Amendments are a pathway to environmental rights for all! The day will be full of inspirational narratives and action opportunities to fight global climate injustices, from unequal access to clean water, oil and gas industry exploitation, sacrifice zones, and more! Don’t miss the evening panel event, find the early bird registration here: https://bit.ly/GADay22Panel
