As federal environmental protections are stripped away, people are looking for solutions to protect our water, air, soils, environment, wildlife and climate. The power of Green Amendment protections – secured through state constitutional reform – is rising to the top for advocates, attorneys, legislators and those seeking to secure environmental rights, environmental justice, climate protection, and for honoring our obligation to ensure a safe environment for future generations.
Why are state constitutions particularly beneficial for protecting environmental rights, and addressing other community protection priorities?
Join Green Amendments Founder Maya van Rossum as she talks with state constitution expert and Rutgers Law Professor Robert Williams to learn about the history and key elements of state constitutions that make them so powerful for addressing our most pressing societal issues from education, to workers rights, to abortion rights, to environmental rights.
In order to ensure broadest access, we will be holding this live event on July 15 (2 days after National Green Amendment Day) at 3 PM PT / 4 MT / 5 CT / 6 ET. This event will be 1 hour for the interview with about 30 minutes for Q+A.
The event will include a live introduction and Q&A with Maya, and a pre-recorded conversation with Professor Williams.
3 copies of Professor Williams’ book titled The Law of American State Constitutions, will be given away by random drawing to those who attend this event live.
Sign up now to attend the forum and for a chance to win the drawing!
