Amidst all the change happening in our nation, we are also seeing less care being taken when it comes to our world. Policy changes and priority shifts are threatening an Earth already facing a climate crisis. What can we hope for as the world seems to move closer and closer to a point of no return? What can we do to further environmental justice in the face of so many unjust forces?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join our final session of the 2024-2025 Looking to the Future Renewal season on April 23rd, when we will hear from Dr. Amy Erickson and Dr. Heidi Steltzer about how they think the landscape of ecojustice will change and what we can do to fight for the future of the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
