Administrator Lisa P. Jackson has made Expanding the Conversation on Environmentalism and Working for Environmental Justice one of her top priorities. In support of this priority, we invite environmental justice advocates to participate on our Quarterly Environmental Justice Community Outreach Calls.
The purpose of these calls is to provide information to participants about the Agency’s EJ activities and maintain an open dialogue with EJ advocates. As EPA continues to advance Plan EJ 2014, the Agency hopes these calls will better inform the public about EPA’s EJ work and enhance opportunities to take advantage of federal activities.

AgendaWe are taking suggestions on additional topics for the agenda and need your feedback. We will select the topic(s) that are of general concern to communities prior to the call. Please keep in mind that the call will only last for an hour, so the number of topics discussed will be limited. The final agenda will be posted here no later than the day before the call.
