Join Commissioner Terry and the D6 Team for an Environmental Justice panel discussion featuring leaders in DeKalb County and Georgia.

In April, Commissioner Terry introduced a resolution to create a resident-led DeKalb Environmental Justice Commission to provide for collaboration, transparency and ensure accountability to create a more equitable and sustainable future for all of DeKalb County. This event will provide an update on that resolution as well as seeks to connect the progress of the Civil Rights movement with today’s call for environmental justice and sustainability for all communities.
