ABOUT THE EVENT

The Environmental Justice Round-Table at Catholic Theological Union will bring together environmental justice advocates, faith-based organizations, and local leaders to foster dialogue and action planning around the environmental crisis. Our goal is to create a collaborative space for sharing insights, building connections, and empowering participants to take actionable steps within their congregations and communities.
We will gather at CTU for a locally-sourced farm-to-table meal and then will listen to a panel of environmental justice activists – podcasters, organizers, farmers, and faith leaders – share about their work and unique approach to environmental justice here in Chicago and across the region. The panel will be followed by breakout discussions, where attendees will have the opportunity to brainstorm and plan actions for their own communities.

Speakers:
Damien Williams and Daniel Kisslinger, Respair Media
Kayla Jacobs, Catholic Mobilizing Network
