Who Does Mapping Serve? GIS in Environmental Justice and Climate Change Research, Organizing and Action

What role can mapping play, especially in times of crisis? Who does it serve, and how can researchers, organizers and designers leverage mapping to advocate for equity and justice? As policy makers, planners, and advocates increasingly rely on spatial data and geospatial techniques to advance decision making, key questions surrounding equitable representation, ethical use, and access to needed resources remain a crucial challenge.

ELIMINATING THE EFFECTS OF RACISM ON OUR WORK TO SUSTAIN ALL LIFE

  • 65 W 11th Street, Wollman Hall New York, NY 10011 USA (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Racism has had a deeply damaging and divisive effect on everyone. It shapes and perpetuates the inequities of our society. It has become part of our social institutions. Unless we address racism, it is replicated in any solutions we develop. Understanding and healing the effects of racism on us as individuals is a necessary step in creating a movement that can sustain all life and restore the environment. In this workshop, we will: 

★ Learn about the development and maintenance of racism, ★ Examine the effects of historic and systemic racism on 

individual lives, interpersonal connections, relationships, and the climate movement, ★ Examine manifestations of racism in the environmental 

movement and the global response to the climate emergency, ★ Learn the approaches used by Sustaining All Life and United 

to End Racism to heal from the damage of oppression, increase our effectiveness in the climate justice movement, and prevent burnout.
