Justice Fusion: Creative Expression for Socio-Enviro Equity

Justice Fusion: Creative Expression for Socio-Enviro Equity

Sponsored by the UCLA Environmental Justice Initiative, this event explores the intersection between race, class, gender, and environmental issues using creative expression.

4:00 PM – 6:00 PM

The event will feature contributions from students and artists at the crossroads of environmental activism and scholarship in order to share a broader understanding of the ways environmental burdens and benefits are differently experienced, and to expand our vision of mutually constructed equitable solutions for a better world.
