We are recording the presentation and will make it available on the Daniel Thursz Social Justice Initiatives website https://www.ssw.umaryland.edu/thursz/events/

Thanks for a great talk. Is there additional specialty coursework that social workers in ecological justice work should get--in a SSW or outside? For example is public health doing anything more than we are to prepare students to work in this field?

Great presentation - so much to think about and action that we can all take.

Do any large environmental organizations like the Sierra Club employ social workers?

I don't know about large organizations, but smaller ones sure do! We hire policy organizers, community organizers, outreach specialists, etc.

Do you have any ideas how we could infuse some of these ideas into a BSW/generalist level practice classes? You mentioned a bit about open resource ideas but I missed where that was housed. Thanks!

Thanks Leanna. For those interested in following up with Leanna Powell from Blue Water Baltimore: lpowell@bluewaterbaltimore.org or www.bluewaterbaltimore.org

That was helpful, thank you!

THANK YOU for an inspiring and challenging presentation

Feretto, glad to share my slides. I’ll provide these to Dr. Shdaimah for sharing.

@Michelle, yes — here’s CSWE’s Curricular Guide for Environmental Justice (looks like it may be $15): https://www.cswe.org/Bookstore/Books/Curricular-Guide-for-Environmental-Justice — also, check out the open access IFSW sustainability workbooks which are open access, I believe, e.g., https://www.ifsw.org/product/books/social-work-promoting-community-and-environmental-sustainability/

fyi, GO MS Campbell! I serve on the Baltimore CCHD --The Catholic Campaign for Human Development CCHD is a National Foundation that has been funding environmental justice community efforts of low income groups for over 50 years --in fact we are currently funding the South Baltimore Community Land Trust AND the East Baltimore Community Land Trust !! We are in our funding cycle now but other community groups could apply NEXT fall.

If you want an interest book on the intersection of the Climate and Housing Crisis read Gray to Green by Dana Bourland go to DanaBourland.com

Map the problems to find the solutions for system change.

I am curious if any of your agencies host students for internships or field placements. They sound like fantastic places for students to learn from an experiential lens and to be able to add to the efforts.

Give that $$ directly to folks working in their own communities, especially Black & Brown folks. Skip the Sierra Club

We definitely host and pay for internships, fellowships etc. ranorton@ghhi.org

Beware of "Zero Waste" policy when it includes offsets like tree plantings in wealthy zip codes to make up for pollution that end up in marginalized communities

We host paid internships as well

Thanks everyone---

I am a field social worker and visit clients in their homes. I would love to learn more about case management in environmental justice programs.

I encourage anyone who visits clients at home to keep an ear out for residential sewage backups and encourage people to report them to us and to the City. They recently expanded clean-up programs and we're trying to improve them still.

How much focus at any of your agencies is given to shaming polluters and indifferent policy makers? Can shaming be an effective part of accomplishing your agency mission?

We use shame VERY strategically, John! Our press releases about legal action against polluters and regulators (usually a city or state agency either way) are generally intended mostly to put the public spotlight on them

Thanks Leanna.

As was mentioned, UMB is a large institution here in the community. What changes do you want to see from our institution?

Thank you all for the presentation

YES Dante! I'd love to see institutions like UMB getting behind City policy like the Resilience Authority and then use it as part of their investment strategy

Universities also have massive investment portfolios that are not yet divested from the oil & gas industries

Indeed! Divesting is critical.

Yessss, Shashawnda. :-D

It's also important to note that universities as nonprofits do not pay property tax; the funds from our tax base are used to invest in City services like composting and low-emission public transit. There is a lot of money staying within the university system and out of the City's coffers.

Thanks, everyone! This information is so important. I’ll be reaching out to some of you after this to discuss more how UMB can contribute to to the solution 🙂

Agree on research comment - that is why it has to be community driven and led -

Ulysses good to see you here- feel free to put contact info about your organization in the chat here

Awesome panel - thank you so much to each of you!

This was amazing - thank you!

Thank you!

TY!

Thank you to all
