Events

PoP models how personal stories that center the voices of the most impacted will always be more accurate and humanized, and therefore, more likely to drive meaningful social change.

Our storytelling events aim to shift the narrative - to uncover the untold stories of environmental racism and generate empathy and action among the public. Our in-person gatherings stoke dialogue, strategic collaborations, and build movement in culturally-relevant spaces.
