The League of Women Voters invites you to our free, virtual webinar on February 13th from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. The topic is “Achieving Environmental Justice in Wisconsin”. 

 What does it mean to achieve environmental justice in Wisconsin? We’ll discuss the basic principles of environmental justice, learn about some examples of this work in practice across the state, and discuss the challenges and how we can empower communities to reach identified goals.
