2027-02-23 00:00:00Z	Feb 22, 2027	Jeff Merrell	Environmental Equity in Evanston. What it means. What we can do.	Feb 23, 2027		The Evanston Environmental Equity Investigation (EEI) was a year-long effort in 2025 to assess the current state of environmental equity in the city. The final EEI report documents in detail a broad picture of what we’ve known in pieces: West side and south side neighborhoods carry a disproportionate share of environmental burdens and benefit from fewer environmental assets than surrounding areas. The report also lays out more than 30 recommendations - generated in dialogue with community members - that create potential paths to address this long-standing challenge. In this talk, we’ll explore the lessons from EEI and the current state of environmental equity work in Evanston. But we’ll also discuss: What lessons might we apply from our own collective expertise in doing community-changing work? What talents do we bring to the effort? Jeff Merrell is Co-Chair, with Janet Alexander Davis, of Environmental Justice Evanston (a program of Climate Action Evanston). He also leads the Environmental Equity Investigation campaign for the Evanston Environmental Justice Coalition.Hosted by Kelly Fidei.	View
