Building People Power for Environmental Justice: A Connecticut Climate Week Community Gathering

Real change happens when people come together.

Join Integrity Acts and community partners for an engaging Climate Week gathering that brings together residents, organizers, advocates, students, and anyone passionate about building healthier, more equitable communities.

This is not your typical panel discussion. We'll begin with a conversation featuring local environmental justice leaders who are organizing for cleaner air, healthier neighborhoods, and more accountable environmental decision-making across Connecticut. Panelists will share their experiences building community power, navigating challenges, and creating lasting change from the ground up.

Then, participants will put those lessons into action through an interactive, murder mystery-style investigation inspired by real environmental justice issues.

Whether you're new to environmental justice or have been organizing for years, this event offers a creative and collaborative way to learn, connect, and strengthen your advocacy skills.
