Richmond, California has more asthma-related emergency room visits and hospitalizations than anywhere else in its county. These hospital visits are not equal between demographics: time and again, data shows that Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian American Pacific Islander, and other people of color are disproportionately impacted by Richmond’s environmental degradation. However, residents are fighting back.

Join us for a dynamic conversation on the environmental racism struggles Richmond faces and the community organizations working to combat them. Hear from prominent Richmond environmental justice organizations about their work to connect with the land as a form of resistance—educating the public, empowering residents, shaping policy, and more. Join us in conversation as we dissect both issues and solutions.
