with other activists. In particular,
Dilday said conference attendees
will have the opportunity to join
organizations that are concerned
about issues in the Pacific North
west.
Brenda Tincher, a journalism
and environmental studies dou
ble-major who supports CAER,
said that environmental justice is
an important issue that connects
human rights, sexism and other
various social problems.
“The conference is an excel
lent way to get an in-depth look
at some important issues,”
Tincher said. “It gets to the root
of the problems that are in our
society.”
Damu Smith, a toxic waste
specialist for Greenpeace, is also
scheduled to talk tonight on the
impact of environmental racism.
Smith "is an excellent person
to hear speak,” Tincher said. “He
is one of the most influential
people in this arena.”
The conference offers several
panel-oriented sessions on Satur
day, including a forum on the
Dine’h Navajo a Native Ameri
can tribe that is being evicted
from its land in Arizona, a talk
on women and sweatshop labor
issues, and one session titled
“Caucasian Privilege.”
