Franciscan Action Network is hosting a unique workshop opportunity. If environmental justice is one of your passions but you’re not sure how to go about researching and getting involved with local organizers, this 2-part workshop is for you!
On April 2, FAN staff will demonstrate how to research cases of environmental injustice with online census data, EPA databases, and other publicly-available sources to narrow the focus of your search to your broader community. All the websites and demonstration tools will be made into a guide available for you to practice on your own.
On April 9, Secular Franciscan and FAN supporter Carolyn Townes will join us to offer best practices when reaching out to activist groups and communities in your area, providing the skills needed to make respectful, non-tokenizing connections. We will also offer a short, voluntary help session for 30 minutes after this second workshop to troubleshoot any questions you may have encountered in your research.
