This month's One Bexley Real Talk conversation explores environmental racism & ecological justice around Columbus. Who is negatively impacted and who benefits when city development decisions are made?
April's One Bexley Real Talk community conversation focuses on what environmental racism and ecological justice looks like around Columbus. What communities are targeted when large scale city development projects are planned? Who benefits from these projects? And what are the long term environmental impacts? Hear stories about communities who have been displaced by city development projects, learn about what communities are currently being impacted by commercial development and what that means for our environmental wellness around Columbus, and discuss what actions we can take to ensure a healthy environment for all.
The One Bexley Real Talk series is an ongoing conversation series where we come together to discuss pressing social issues, current events, and challenging topics around identity and humanity with the goal of building community and strengthening connections in and around Bexley.
These conversations are a way to actively engage our community to work toward the One Bexley Goal to “deliberately and comprehensively bolster our community culture to ensure that Bexley is welcoming and provides a sense of belonging for all community members and visitors.”
