Dear Colleagues
The Presidents Society Environment Team and the ECHO Project would like to invite you and your classes to participate in an incredible interactive conversation. Join us on October 30, 2020 from 1-3pm EST via zoom for the event titled Just Strategies: Pathways to Water, Food and Wellness. To register for the event https://www.eventbrite.com/e/just-strategies-pathways-to-water-food-and-wellness-tickets-126571373385
This cross-pollinating conversation will highlight how communities are navigating the climate crisis and amplify efforts and experiences in NYC, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico that focus on water, food and wellness. Join these activists Ysanet Batista (Woke Foods), Jacqueline Pilati (Reclaim Seed NYC) Olatokunboh Obasi (Omaroti, from the Well of Indigenous Wisdom), and Amara Abdal Figueroa (Tierrafiltra) who will discuss their projects meant to inform, inspire and incite student-led and community-based efforts organized at and adjacent to LaGuardia College. The conversation will be moderated by LAGCC Professor of Anthropology Ryan Mann-Hamilton.
In delving into these conversations we hope to cultivate and share strategies across spaces that help us imagine and create a more just world. You can find a full description, additional information and Bios of the invited speakers at the following page.
