MDEHR in collaboration with the Central Maryland Ecumenical Council, GreenGrace (the Environmental ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland), and the DE-MD Lutheran Synod co-hosted Environmental Justice Training. This 5-week program featured three webinars led by environmental advocates on the history of environmental justice, environmental health disparities and climate justice, and advocacy in action. MDEHR added a fourth webinar with Mariah Davis, Policy and Campaign Manager with Choose Clean Water Coalition on how to be an effective ally. You can view the program recordings below.
