Tishman Center is hosting a special event, Centering Justice: A Conversation with Environmental Justice Leaders. You will want to attend this public and free event!

UPDATED PROGRAM 

We are delighted to share that Dr. Jalonne L. White-Newsome, the first-ever Federal Chief Environmental Justice Officer for the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), will join us for an empowering conversation with our distinguished keynote speaker, Dr. Beverley Wright.

The Tishman Center's co-director, Dr. Ana Baptista, will be our insightful moderator. We have also added a high-energy performance by Batalá New York, the premier All-Women, Black-led Afro-Brazilian percussion ensemble, to the program.

We all want fresh air to breathe.  Good jobs for our families. A planet where our lands and oceans thrive.

​But the more oil, gas, and coal we burn, the more toxic air we breathe; the more heatwaves, fires, and floods we face. All while wealthy fossil fuel CEOs rake in record profits from dirty practices that pollute our communities. 

​President Biden has the power to stop them by putting an end to the expansion of fossil fuels -- ensuring that we all have clean air and water, and better health and safety for our communities. 

We deserve a world free from fossil fuels. This is our chance, and Biden's opportunity, to break free from fossil fuels and build a just and safe future.

This event is a part of The Henry Cohen Lecture Series, which will bring leading thinkers, changemakers, policymakers, journalists, and activists to the New School to present their perspectives. This series will explore the intersections of race, social stratification, and political economy in order to help students gain skills and knowledge to foster economic and racial justice.
