Thousands of people live\, work\, and attend schools in the shadow of these facilities. \nThis program precedes the Rothko Chapel 2019 Symposium “Toward a Better Future: Transforming the Climate Crisis” taking place February 28 through March 2 in partnership with the University of St. Thomas. To learn more about topics and presenters included in the symposium\, click here. \nAbout t.e.j.a.s.:\nTexas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services (t.e.j.a.s.) is dedicated to providing community members with the tools necessary to create sustainable\, environmentally healthy communities by educating individuals on health concerns and implications arising from environmental pollution\, empowering individuals with an understanding of applicable environmental laws and regulations and promoting their enforcement\, and offering community building skills and resources for effective community action and greater public participation. Our goal is to promote environmental protection through education\, policy development\, community awareness\, and legal action. Our guiding principle is that everyone\, regardless of race or income\, is entitled to live in a clean environment. \nFor more information and to register\, visit http://rothkochapel.org/experience/events/register/1577
