EnviroThursday - "Environmental Justice:  From Grassroots to Grass Tops"

Speaker:  José Luis Villaseñor, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency


José Luis Villaseñor will speak about Tamales y Bicicletas, a local non-profit he founded.  The organization works to decolonize environmental and food justice through urban farming, bikes, and cultural resistance efforts. He will also share how his commitment to decolonization eventually led him to work for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency as their Environmental Justice Outreach Coordinator. 


José Luis Villaseñor also works on environmental justice issues within his community of South Minneapolis, with attention to raising the awareness of the intersectionality of racial, environmental justice, and climate resiliency.


Refreshments provided.
