Chew On This! 2020 Webinar Series - Common Ground Shared Goals for Climate Justice & Poverty
Channel: Citizens for Public Justice
Date: 20/10/2020

The demands of climate activists and anti-poverty activists are sometimes framed as having competing interests. In this webinar, however, our panelists will explore the common goals of climate justice and socio-economic justice, and how our demands complement, rather than contradict, one another. We will explore how the same groups of people are disproportionately affected by climate change and poverty, and how the way forward must be build on the principles of equity, anti-oppression, and sustainability.

Panelists:
Teika Newton, Climate Action Netork
Bryanna Brown, Indigenous Climate Action
Katie Perfitt, 350.org
Samantha Green, Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment

Moderator: Karri Munn-Venn, Citizens for Public Justice
