🌍💬 Participation in Environmental Justice (#EJ) meetings is vital, and engaging in discussions like our upcoming Land Subcommittee Meeting isn't just crucial—it's a chance to shape the future of our communities and environment! At these gatherings, like the one happening on Friday, December 1, 2023, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM EST, CEEJAC explores community improvement initiatives such as the Urban Green and Community Gardens Grant Program (UGCG). These programs provide additional support to EJ communities by funding green spaces for public enjoyment and education. Your participation isn't just about attendance; it's an opportunity to have your voice heard on topics like land conservation, urban revitalization, and equitable access to green spaces beyond traditional parks. 🏙️🌿 🌟Environmental justice meetings foster collaboration and innovation. They're spaces where ideas flourish, barriers are identified, and community needs are highlighted. Your input can shape policies and programs, ensuring they truly serve our communities. Join us and the #CEEJAC and be a part of this incredible journey towards greener, healthier, and more vibrant CT! Your insights matter while we work towards a more sustainable and equitable future! 💚💡 #EnvironmentalJustice #CommunityEngagement #Sustainability #EquityInAction #LandConservation #UrbanRevitalization
