Andrea Deleon at the City of San Diego will be part of the conversation on environmental equity, community leadership, and why frontline voices must guide climate solutions.
Join us for a discussion on how climate change and environmental policies disproportionately affect BIPOC and/or low-income communities, and why it is important to engage and involve those communities in creating and shaping programs as we work together towards a Zero Waste future.
Featured Speakers:
Mike Lok – Field Director with AAPIs for Civic Empowerment Education Fund (AAPI FORCE-EF)
Andrea Deleon – Deputy Director of Environmental Services Department, Waste Reduction Division at the City of San Diego

When trying to anticipate the impacts of new programs or practices, many organizations struggle to identify the correct lens in which to understand how proposed changes may impact equity within the communities they serve. The San Francisco Environment Department has developed a new tool to analyze the equity impacts of proposed policies or programs, known as a “Racial Equity Program and Policy Scan.” Join the NCRA DEI Committee to learn more about this tool, why you should strive for equity, how it is used, and practice performing an equity scan yourself.
