Environmental Racism
Join us for the launch of Solidarity Talks — a new virtual webinar series hosted by the ENRICH Project and the CCECJ to amplify calls to action regarding environmental racism and climate vulnerabilities in Indigenous, Black, and other racialized communities. Our first Solidarity Talk community spotlight is Shelburne, Nova Scotia.
This report aims to determine and identify interactions between environmental, biological, genetic, socio-economic and lifestyle factors that may be driving the high cancer incidence and poor health outcomes in the African Nova Scotian community in the south end of Shelburne.
A recorded version of CCECJ’s event: “Exploring Intersections: Gentrification, Environmental Racism, and Systemic Injustice in Black Communities”. Thank you to our speakers and all who attended this impactful event!
