The Claremont Colleges Eco Club sponsors Earth Day 2 May Day, a 10-day series of speakers and events intended to explore the relationship between environmental, social justice, labor and human rights issues. Smith's lecture will focus on issues of environmental and social justice and their relevance to the Toxics Campaign. The rally is part of a nationwide Chevron accountability campaign, calling for the gas company to be as environmentally responsible as their advertising portrays them to be. The Claremont Colleges Eco Club is a student-run organization of students from Claremont McKenna, Scripps, Harvey Mudd, Pomona and Pitzer Colleges that focuses attention on local and national environmental issues.
All events are free and open to the public.
