Coalition of Community Organizations (COCO) presents: Places too often left behind – Using EPA’s Environmental Justice Tool

April 18 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

During the first half of the webinar, the invited speakers will provide an overview of EJSCREEN and the Environmental Justice and other Dashboards developed or in development for your use. For the second half of the webinar, there will be time for your questions and lively discussion from all participants. We are convening with the goal of using science to inform advocacy and awareness of environmental issues in communities like Fifth Ward. This is a targeted, inclusive, and informed conversation matching scientific data to build connectivity across allied organizations and to identify ways to increase our collective competency for decision-making for environmental justice in our communities.
