Congresswoman Hilda Solis will discuss the growing importance of environmental justice as an organizing mechanism for sustainable community development. Over the last few years, a number of national, state and local policy initiatives have attempted to deal with the inequitable conditions under which marginalized communities are affected by disproportionate amounts of urban pollution from stationary and mobile sources. Congresswoman Solis will discuss policy initiatives of particular importance generally and those most relevant for this state and region more particularly.



The California Agenda lecture series, a component of the Pat Brown Institute's Public Policy Education Program, was created to educate and engage California policymakers and decision-makers in important state public policy issues.
