A culturally-rooted campus event bridges music, storytelling, and environmental justice – building momentum for climate action in Atlanta and beyond. 5:30 – 8:30 p.m.
In a city where Black communities sit adjacent to power plants, train yards, and industrial facilities, a coalition of students, advocates, and community organizations is creating space to talk about what that really means.
This is not a typical climate conference. Anchored on a college campus but open to the broader Atlanta community, the gathering weaves together music, honest conversation, and activism to spark real
dialogue about environmental health issues already shaping life in Atlanta’s Black neighborhoods: air quality, extreme heat, flooding, and more.
Moderator: Lashawn Hudson – WALB/NPR. Panelists: Niya Randall – Director, Institute for Family Giving (health equity); Akayla Galloway – The Social Justice Center; Genia Billingsley – Canopy Atlanta; Commissioner Ted Terry – Super District 6
