We are pleased to invite you to join us for presentations on “The Green Amendment” and environmental justice in New York State. With our partners, we have moved legislation forward that would make clean air, clean water, and a healthy environment a constitutional right in New York State. These panelists will speak to the transformational difference environmental constitutionalism can make for environmental justice communities.

Panelists Include:

Maya K. van Rossum, Founder, Green Amendments for the Generations

Eddie Bautista, Executive Director, New York City Environmental Justice Alliance

Kate Kurera, Deputy Director, Environmental Advocates NY

Christine Appah, Senior Staff Attorney, New York Lawyers for the Public Interest Environmental Justice Program

Talk will be moderated by Mike Harrington, Assistant Director, Tishman Environment and Design Center
