With Rev. Michael Malcom and Rev. Brooks Brendt
According to the New York Times, the list of federal environmental rollbacks over the past four years is now over 100. This list includes weakened limits on CO2 emissions, the removal of protections for more than half the nation’s wetlands, and the undoing of restrictions on mercury pollution from power plants.
The EPA’s stated mission is to protect human health and the environment. What needs to happen in 2021 to repair and advance this mission? What do faith communities need to know to hold the EPA morally accountable? The webinar will feature three leaders in holding the EPA to account.
Caitlin McCoy comes from Harvard’s Environmental and Energy Law Program which has tracked the many environmental rollbacks.
Vernice Miller-Travis is a celebrated veteran of environmental justice struggles and a contributing author to the historic Toxic Wastes and Race report.
Eric Schaeffer directed the EPA’s Office of Civil Enforcement before co-founding and directing the Environmental Integrity Project, the country’s leading EPA watchdog organization. Even if you can’t make the webinar’s scheduled time on Wednesday, December 9th at 1 pm ET, still sign-up, and we will send you a recording of it.
