April 2017 Meetup Recap

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Wednesday, April 12 for our April meetup! This month featured a very special environmental justice panel discussion with DC4D’s own Jeremiah Lowery, Mike Tidwell from the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, and Charlie Jian from Rising Hearts, a women-led indigenous group in the District.

Charlie discussed the D.C. Reinvest campaign, advocating for divestment of public funds from Wells Fargo and other banks financing environmentally destructive industry and other practices, while Mike provided a deep dive into the Carbon Fee and Rebate campaign designed to make the District a national leader in progressive climate and energy policy. Special thanks to Judy’s Bar and Restaurant (2212 14th St. NW)  for hosting us!
