Thursday, March 4, 2021. 12:00. Webinar: EPA Environmental Justice and Systemic Racism Speaker Series: Features the Mapping Inequality Project. Robert Nelson, University of Richmond; LaDale Winling, Virginia Tech. Sponsored by EPA Office of Environmental Justice. More information here.

The Mapping Inequality Project created a foundational resource for unprecedented research, education, organizing, and policy advocacy on redlining and current environmental challenges. It provides publicly accessible digitized versions of redlining maps for about 200 cities. This has already generated an explosion of trailblazing work in the area of environmental justice (EJ) and systemic racism. Two of its founders will discuss the genesis, philosophy, methodology, and impact of this game changing project.
