Women’s Congress for Future Generations 2017

November 3, 2017 @ 8:00 am - November 5, 2017 @ 5:00 pm

The Women’s Congress works to live out what Martin Luther King, Jr. described as the “Beloved Community.” It supports people stepping into collective power to use laws, policies and norms to transition to a just and sustainable world.

The 2017 conference focuses on climate, health, and justice. It bears witness to communities of color who are hit hardest by climate change and pollution as people of color are statistically more likely to suffer from autism, lead poisoning and breast cancer, and seeks to create more just systems in response. 

Speakers include nationally recognized experts on climate change and women working in communities impacted by groundwater contamination, pipelines, and toxins in our homes.

Keynote speakers include Vien Truong (Dream Corps and Green for All), Carolyn Raffensperger (Science and Environmental Health Network), and Dr. Dorceta Taylor (University of Michigan).
