Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, director of Environmental Justice at NYLPI, spoke at an in-person panel event called “Earth Day 2023: Justice in Focus” hosted by the University of Michigan.

The talk also featured Isaac Sevier, founder and co-director of People’s Utility Commons and Maria Lopez-Nunez, deputy director of advocacy and organizing, Ironbound Community Corporation.

Earth Day 2023: Justice in Focus seeks to put justice and Earth in the same conversation, removing the silos of environment, human social systems, and political ecology. The University of Michigan, led by the Tishman Center for Social Justice and the Environment at the School for Environment and Sustainability, will bring forth a critical dialogue with emerging and powerful leaders on the frontlines. Participants will have the opportunity to hear from local and national leaders on the inner workings of organizations, solutions, and leadership that emerged through the pandemic.
