HEAL Act & Environmental Justice

Come learn about the HEAL Act and environmental justice with us! At C2C we believe that low income individuals, communities of color, and farmworkers, disproportionately experience pollution, climate disasters, and environmental hazards. This is a key concept of environmental justice. 

The HEAL Act or Healthy Environment for All Act was a law passed in Washington state in 2021, spearheaded by Front and Centered and supported by C2C. The HEAL Act seeks to address environmental justice issues and health disparities among low income people and POC. It mandates that several governmental agencies incorporate environmental justice principles into their work. 

If you want to learn more about how we can use the HEAL Act in our communities, what environmental justice is, and about the steps we can take as individuals to protect the HEAL Act, come join us on December 6th from 10am-12:30pm! 

 To prepare for the content of the HEAL Act workshop we recommend watching this 15 minute video that looks at environmental justice and the history of the environmental justice movement: 

The Intersectional History of Environmentalism

We hope to see you on December 6th! Please RSVP.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Food and drinks will be provided!
