Increasing numbers of people and organizations are now recognizing  
their common cause in building a world that works for all - whether  
they call themselves environmentalists or social justice advocates.

Environmentalists in particular are learning some hard lessons about  
the importance of addressing the pressing needs of people and  
communities, the most disadvantaged of whom suffer most from  
industrial pollution and societal neglect. This event will challenge  
us to rethink what it means to be an environmentalist, and explore  
the potential of different movements meeting at the crossroads for  
positive change.

Environmental justice campaigners will speak about four key Bay Area  
campaigns and programs and then facilitate small-group discussions on  
related topics and themes.

SPONSORING ORGANIZATIONS:
Circle of Life, Global Exchange, Earth Island Institute, Bay Area  
Wilderness Training, Arc Ecology, Ella Baker Center for Human Rights,  
Greenaction Literacy for Environmental Justice, Redefining Progress
