Join Piedmont Environmental Alliance and Bookmarks for an informative and engaging panel conversation on Environmental Justice on August 20th from 6-7PM at the Forsyth County Central Library.
What is environmental justice and how does it show up in the Triad? We’ll hear from experts from different backgrounds, including community organizing, public health, and research.
This event is part of Bookmarks’ Books with Purpose program to unite the community in dialogue around one central theme. This year's Book With Purpose selection is The Sum of Us by Heather McGhee, and all attendees will receive a complimentary copy. Learn more about this program and our event here.
