SUMMARY:Maintaining Food Access in the Face of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:How and where we get our food\, and the food that we eat\, has a significant impact on our health\, the climate\, and local economies. A healthy\, sustainable\, and affordable food system is critical to ensure that everyone has access to nutritious foods like fresh fruits and vegetables\, and that local economies and farmers benefit from their sale. Buying local produce and using sustainable farming practices also plays an important role in mitigating climate change by limiting the carbon footprint from agriculture production\, nutrient runoff\, and more. \nJoin Michigan LCV for a People\, Planet\, Public Health webinar with U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow\, Oran Hesterman\, Founder & CEO of Fair Food Network and Quiana “Que” Broden\, Founder & Executive Chef of The Kitchen by Cooking with Que in Detroit for a discussion about the ties between healthy food access\, sustainable farming\, and climate change — as well as the opportunities in Congress to improve our food systems and infrastructure.

SUMMARY:COVID-19 & The Environment: Public Health is Under Attack
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 has caused a public health crisis\, but it has also brought to light the health disparities that many of our Michigan communities have already been facing for decades. During this unprecedented and difficult time\, the federal government is exacerbating these concerns  by suspending the enforcement of environmental rules and regulations\, putting critical functions like water and air monitoring to a halt and giving polluters the green light to wreak havoc on our land\, air and water without consequence. Join us on Wednesday to learn more why it is important for Michigan’s leaders and citizens to stand up for environmental protections in the face of COVID-19 now more than ever.  \nThis event will feature Michigan LCV Executive Director Lisa Wozniak\, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell\, and State Representative Abdullah Hammoud. \nYou can view a recording of the webinar here.
