Environmental Justice in New England: Protecting the Urban Poor, with guest Deborah Brown

Join us for the “Wednesdays at Grace” Green Faith Lenten Environmental Education Series taking place every Wednesday evening from 6:45-8pm from March 16 to April 13 at Grace Episcopal Church in Medford, MA. Dinner will be served at 6:00pm.

Deborah Brown, who currently works for EPA's Environmental Justice team, will talk about the environmental justice issues faced by communities in New England. She will also talk about what EPA and other groups (including religious organizations) are doing to address those injustices. Deborah has been a passionate advocate for environmental justice issues in all her positions at EPA; for example when she ran the Toxics and Pesticides enforcement program, she developed a very strong program dedicated to fighting the scourge of childhood lead poisoning.
