February 22, 2024 @ 3:00 PM4:00 PM PST
Free
Environmental Justice and Black Farming and Why They Matter

Get curious with representatives from CARE’s Environmental Justice, Community Animal CARE, and CARE Center teams. What is Environmental Justice and how is that different from Environmental Protection? What is the Black Farmers Act and why is it needed? Aline Silva interviews Akisha Townsend Eaton, Rae Williams, and Tre Law to share important historical information for Black land owners and farmers, how it intersects with Environmental Justice, and why we should all care about this to benefit humans and animals.

Speakers: Akisha Townsend Eaton, Rae Williams, Tre Law, and Aline Silva

CARE is hosting our 3rd annual American Black History Month Series. This speaker series aims to raise $250,000 towards African American Veterinary Scholarships for students at Tuskegee’s College of Veterinary Medicine.

American Black History Month: Dark Shadows are Evidence of our Ascent.

CARE is telling the stories of suffrage and pain. While the dark shadows were meant to destroy black people, the fact that we can tell our own narratives, is evidence that we have risen.
