Join us for our eighth edition of Living Room Leadership: sharing stories of community activists and leaders, from our homes to yours.

This week, join us for a conversation with Pamela Miller and Vi Waghiyi of Alaska Community Action on Toxics, to learn more about their work tackling toxics, protecting health and achieving justice for Alaska's wildlife and people.

Pamela Miller founded ACAT in 1997 and serves as its Executive Director. She is known for her work to prompt state, national, and international chemicals policy reform to protect environmental and human health in the Arctic. Her research projects rely on collaborative efforts with tribes in Alaska to address environmental health and justice issues.

Vi Waghiyi serves as ACAT's Environmental Health and Justice Program Director. She has received vast recognition for her work protecting the health and human rights of indigenous groups and local communities in Alaska. Vi is sought out repeatedly to speak at national and international meetings about ACAT’s work.

Living Room Leadership is a bi-weekly event on Wednesdays at noon EST. Tune in during your lunch, morning coffee break, or breakfast.

Listen, Learn, & Ask Questions! Hear stories, meet leaders and role models.

The event will last about 45 minutes. It will begin with a conversation between the CHEJ team, Pamela and Vi, and will conclude with an opportunity for everyone to ask questions. We ask that everyone on the video call submits questions through the chat, and we will try our best to answer everyone.

We're excited to see you all Wednesday, September 30 at 12 EST! Sign up today!
