Commissioner Terry is introducing a resolution to create an Environmental Justice Commission in DeKalb County. A citizen advisory board that will elevate Environmental Justice concerns and prioritize action towards healing our planet and people. But first we need to hear from YOU.

We hope you will join us to share YOUR Environmental Justice concerns in DeKalb County and your needs from an Environmental Justice Commission. Through a World Cafe discussion, we will discover solutions together and leave empowered to bring them into reality. This event is an Earth Day celebration and a part of the DeKalb Green New Deal movement.
