Hello,

Please share the following information and attachment with your networks- the convergence is less than two weeks away!

Swarming for Change and
Environmental Justice
In less than two weeks from now,
WPIRG is hosting a two-day convergence on Environmental Justice. We will be discussing
radical resistance to environmental destruction, inspiring action around
environmental and climate justice issues, and to further extending this
knowledge to the larger KW-community. Workshops, panel discussions, and film screenings
will all occur over the two-day gathering- all of the details about these
events are found on our website, www.ejkw.wordpress.com.
The full schedule (below) is nearly finalized but subject to change.We will
also offer free vegan and vegetarian food, activities that are accessible for
younger folks, guerrilla art and performances glittered with militant
creativity, and practical tips to bring environmental justice into your heart
and life.
