Climate Justice in Chinatown: An Oakland Walking Tour
Climate Action Club is joining forces with Asian Pacific Environmental Network (APEN), one of California’s first environmental justice organizations, to bring you an exciting opportunity - hopping on an environmental justice walking tour of the historic Oakland Chinatown!
👣 About the Tour
This tour will open up conversations on what environmental inequity looks like in an urban context and how it intersects with issues like gentrification, inequitable development, and privatization of green spaces. Tour guides also will talk about how community organizing has led to the creation of climate resilience projects like low-income housing, the Lincoln climate resilience hub, and accessible parks/recreational space.
