SUMMARY:A Healthy Environment: Is It Our Right or Privilege? with the Rockford Sustainability Committee
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this special speaking engagement hosted by the Rockford Sustainability Committee in Michigan! \nWhile many environmental regulations exist\, they often act as a “license to pollute\,” allowing polluters to meet permit requirements without genuinely protecting the environment. These regulations are susceptible to political changes and frequently leave vulnerable populations with little protection or recourse. \nEnshrining environmental rights in the constitution’s bill of rights ensures that these rights cannot be ignored or undermined. By securing a Green Amendment\, we can guarantee a healthy and sustainable environment for current and future generations. Three states currently have a  Green Amendment and another 25 states\, including Michigan\, are actively working toward that goal. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the Green Amendment movement and how we can work together to protect Michigan’s environment for future generations. \nWe look forward to seeing you there and making a difference together! \n\nLocation: Archival Brewing\, 6266 West River Drive\, Belmont\, MI 49306\nDate: Wednesday\, April 16th\nTime: The event will begin at 6:30 pm

SUMMARY:GA Panel Present: Reparative & Restorative Paradigms for Environmental Justice at Rutgers University-Newark
DESCRIPTION:Rutgers University Newark hosts the seminar Reparative and Restorative Paradigms for Environmental Justice\, which examines local and global perspectives to the existential challenges posed by climate change. The seminar will consider how reparative and restorative approaches to environmental justice may offer more inclusive opportunities to re-imagine the terms of citizenship and self-government; ones that embed the interconnectedness of humans and their ecology in culture\, politics\, and laws. Recent conversations about reparations in the United States have drawn on both history and analyses of current economic\, social\, and political perspectives to propose reparative practices that range from monetary compensation to targeted policies that address racial disparities in wealth\, housing discrimination\, and education access\, among others. At a wider scale\, scholars like Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò have offered a constructivist view of reparations that proposes a historically informed project of distributive justice that serves a larger and broader world-making process. The project of reparations\, therefore\, has a forward-facing orientation that by necessity is anchored in the past. \nThe seminar runs Wednesday\, April 23\, 2025\, 9:00am – 6:00pm\nNewark Express\, 54 Halsey Street\, 2nd Floor\, Room 213\, Newark\, NJ 07102 \n\nMaya K. van Rossum\, Founder of Green Amendments For The Generations\, will be speaking in the afternoon on Wednesday\, April 23rd\, 2:00-3:20pm\n\nCost: Free and open to the public. \nAccommodations: Please submit accommodation requests to sawyerseminar@newark.rutgers.edu by Friday\, January 31\, 2025. \nMore details\, registration\, and parking can be found HERE

SUMMARY:Our Environmental Rights: A Discussion with Maya K. van Rossum Author of the Green Amendment
DESCRIPTION:Join the Moshannon Group of the Sierra Club to talk about environmental advocacy and activism. \nWorsening ecological crises and a new presidential administration mean any victories over the past year are now at risk. In the years ahead\, we’ll have our work cut out for us. We’re lucky in Pennsylvania because we had an Environmental Rights Amendment adopted into our Constitution in 1971. It guarantees citizens the right to clean air\, pure water and the preservation of natural resources. Learn more about how you can continue to stand up for those rights as the Moshannon Group of the Sierra Club hosts the “Mother of the Green Amendment” Maya van Rossum. \nMaya K. van Rossum is the founder of Green Amendments For The Generations\, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring passage of Green Amendments in every state constitution across our nation\, and also at the federal level when the time is right. Green Amendments — a term coined and defined by Maya in our 2017 award winning book — recognize and protect environmental rights on par with other inalienable civic and political freedoms. \n4:00 – 5:30 PM on Sat\, 31 May 2025  \nUnitarian Universalist Fellowship of Centre County\n780 Waupelani Drive Extended\nState College\, Pennsylvania 16801 \nLearn more here. \n  \n\n\nEvent Supported By\nThe Sierra Club Moshannon Group\nkhforest@icloud.com\nhttps://www.sierraclub.org/pennsylvania/moshannon

SUMMARY:RECLAMATION: BLAC’s Storytelling and Policy Summit: July 17-20\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Join Green Amendments For The Generations at RECLAMATION: BLAC’s Storytelling and Policy Summit in July 2025! As the Green Amendment seeks to constitutionally recognize environmental rights for all people\, the BLAC Policy and Storytelling Summit uplifts the specific struggles and solutions of Black Appalachian communities who have long borne the brunt of environmental degradation. By connecting these two movements\, the Summit not only amplifies the call for systemic change but also reinforces the urgent need to embed Appalachian stories and solutions into the very fabric of our legal systems and proposed policy changes. Attendees can join virtually OR attend in-person in Pittsburgh\, PA! \nWhat is the BLAC Storytelling and Policy Summit? \n\nThe BLAC Storytelling and Policy Summit is where lived experiences meet legislative action. Black Appalachian communities have long been on the frontlines of environmental harm\, yet our voices are too often excluded from decision-making spaces. \nBy blending storytelling and policy change\, we ensure that those most impacted are heard and leading the fight for justice. Stories make the issues real\, personal\, and urgent—policy turns those stories into action. This summit will equip attendees with the tools to use their narratives to influence lawmakers\, mobilize communities\, and drive systemic change that protects our people and our land. \n\nRegistration: \n→ https://blackappalachiancoalition.org/events/ \nWhat To Expect: \nAt RECLAMATION: BLAC’s  Storytelling and Policy Summit\, attendees can expect an immersive\, multi-day experience designed to uplift Black Appalachian voices and turn personal narratives into powerful tools for change. Through interactive workshops\, storytelling circles\, policy trainings\, and community-building sessions\, participants will gain the skills and strategies to influence legislation\, mobilize their communities\, and advocate for justice across Appalachia and the Ohio River Basin. Rooted in joy\, resistance\, and the leadership of Black women\, this summit is a space for healing\, learning\, and collective action. \nWho is BLAC? \n\nBLAC’s mission is to use storytelling as a strategy and a precursor to policymaking\, building collective power to reclaim our communities\, reshape systems\, and drive transformative\, cross-sector justice across Appalachia and the Ohio River Basin. As a Black women-led organization\, BLAC is leading a bold movement beyond equity toward true justice and equality\, rooted in reclamation\, resistance\, and the power of our narratives.\nThe Black Appalachian Coalition (BLAC) leverages black women’s organizing skills\, leadership potential and political power to influence and positively impact the community.

SUMMARY:Environmental Rights Amendments: A Constitutional Approach to State Climate Policy
DESCRIPTION:Environmental Rights Amendments: A Constitutional Approach to State Climate Policy\nAs the federal government threatens states’ authority to regulate climate policy\, Environmental Rights Amendments (ERAs) present a key opportunity for states to guarantee the right to a clean and healthy environment through a constitutional mandate. These amendments can be used to advance critical efforts in the states where they exist\, protecting residents against groundwater contamination\, hazardous air pollution\, natural resource extraction\, and other climate and environmental impacts. They also can be a key tool in regulating greenhouse gas emissions. \nJoin a panel of experts to dive into the basics of ERAs\, including key policy design considerations and how they’ve been used to secure legal victories. The expert panel includes: \n\nSara Zimmerman\, Founder and Executive Director of the Climate Equity Policy Center\nMaya K. van Rossum\, Founder and Leader of Green Amendments for the Generations\n\nThis event is hosted by the Climate XChange as part of their State Climate Policy Network’s Deep Dive Webinars \nWednesday\, August 27th at 1pm ET \nREGISTER HERE \nFor more information\, visit: \nOctober State Climate Policy Network National Call
