GASP is thrilled to share a critical opportunity to elevate the conversation around environmental justice right here in our backyard - our friends at 412 Justice are co-hosting the National People's Hearing Tour later this month.
This two-day public gathering slated for Nov. 21 and 22 at the Omni William Penn Hotel Downtown and will be centered on testimonies, community-driven solutions, and cultural celebration, inviting people from across the nation to share their experiences and envision a better future.
Why This Event Matters to GASP and Pittsburgh
The purpose of the People's Hearing in Pittsburgh directly aligns with GASP's mission to advocate for a healthier region. This event will:
Convene community representatives from Pennsylvania and surrounding regions to testify about the threats to their health, land, and work—many of which are directly tied to air quality and pollution.
Create space for dialogue to lay the groundwork for policies and movements that will secure a cleaner, healthier, and economically and culturally vibrant future.
In the face of attempted environmental regulatory rollbacks and efforts to silence community platforms, this hearing offers a vital stage. It's an opportunity to ensure that the experiences and knowledge of those most impacted by pollution—your experiences—are put back on the public record and uplifted nationally.
Join Us: Your Presence is Your Power!
We hope those who can WILL add their voices at this historic event or simply attend to stand in solidarity with like-minded folks seeking positive change.
