When: Wednesday, February 27th, 2008
Where: Portland State University - Urban Studies Building, Second Floor Gallery
Time: 12PM - 1PM
Description:
As the nation continues to diversify, the environmental movement is left with one of the greatest challenges it will face this century. In order to become an influential and sustainable movement for generations to come, it needs to successfully address its diversity crisis. Currently, nearly one-third of the US population can be classified as people of color, but barely 11% of the staff of natural resource organizations fit in this category. Marcelo Bonta will share his thoughts on how to address this issue in a comprehensive, action-oriented way.
