Please join the Midwest Environmental Justice Network and the Center for Earth, Energy & Democracy for a conversation with White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council (WHEJAC) members to discuss the status of environmental justice in federal policy and funding and how it impacts the Midwest region. Speakers will share their insight into the potential impact of Justice40 and the local and regional advocacy needed to ensure federal funding reaches environmental justice communities. We will save plenty of time for Q & A!
