The 9th annual Environmental Justice Conference hosted by the West Jefferson County Community Task Force (WJCCTF) and the local chapter of the NAACP will be held at UofL's University Club. The theme is "It’s Our Environment and It's PERSONAL."
Join us for a day of information with opportunities to ask questions and hear about a variety of topics of environmental interest. Topics will include: PFAS contamination in water; The importance of environmental exposure in clinical diagnosis; Climate change's health effects on women; Policy challenges; and the environmental impact of data centers.
Let's work together to address air toxins and their impact on our health in an informative setting. This is a great opportunity to connect with experts, community leaders, and neighbors in the community and make a difference in our futures.
