Event

Seattle Race Conference - Early Registration
The Seattle Race Conference began to create a shared understanding and language about the nature of racism, refine definitions of its modern day forms and identify the tools that can be used to end it. Using this as a foundation, the objective was to cultivate a "movement" for racial justice in Seattle that includes components of sustainable action. This year's theme is "Building Community to End Environmental Racism: Learn, Connect, Flourish"

There will be workshops, institutes, and presentations for the following tracks:
Track 1: Where We're At: The Environment We Live In
Track 2: Strategies for Change: The Environment that Supports Us
Track 3: Where We're Going: The Environment Where all Flourish

Morning Keynote: Yalonda Sinde, Former Executive Director of the Community Coalition of Environmental Justice and current Executive Director of the Association of Environmental Health Academic Programs

Afternoon Playnote: The New Wilderness Project, an entertaining presentation of the issues and opportunities around stewardship, leadership, the human connection to nature and each other, and embracing diversity in our communities.

Conference Closing and Call-to-Action: Jourdan Keith, Founder and Director of Urban Wilderness Project
She believes that connecting to the natural world is critical to restoring communities, reducing domestic violence, building relationships, and acknowledging and healing historical injustices.

And Featuring: Delbert Richardson's American History Traveling Museum and Workshop

*A Diet for Social Justice: Eating Local & Organic is a Race Issue presented by Consider This
*Bridging Community Needs with Tools and Resources for Action presented by The US EPA
