Toxic Truths: Exposing Industrial Pollution
Industrial pollution is driving a triple crisis: a warming planet, poisoned ecosystems, and sick communities. Confronting it requires hard evidence of the corporate and government decisions behind the damage, and newsrooms are stepping up to investigate and name the actors responsible.
RSVP Here
The first Toxic Truths event will be an engaging discussion with Nicholas Schou, Will Evans, Dr. Yoshira “Yoshi” Ornelas Van Horne, Dr. Claire Chaumont, and Joe Donnelly exploring how independent journalists and scientists are exposing industrial pollution corporations and government want to keep hidden. Admission and parking are free. Healthy refreshments will be served.
Hosted by Red Canary Magazine, The Examination, and UCLA Center for Occupational & Environmental Health, this event brings together people committed to the health of our communities and our planet. Together we’ll explore how independent journalism serves those living with the consequences of industrial pollution.
