The environmental and climate justice movement is one that holds an utmost importance to the fight for a livable climate.  During this session we will hear from three unique organizations to better understand where they see the climate justice movement at now, and where they see it going in the future and what the major issues they see currently facing the communities they represent are. The panels goal is that we can all come away with a deeper understanding of this movement and begin to work towards some productive and respectful partnerships going forward.
