Community Outreach Call

May 16, 2012 at 6 p.m. ET

1.  Background 

• Administrator Lisa P. Jackson has made Expanding the Conversation on Environmentalism and Working for Environmental Justice (EJ) one of EPA's top priorities. 
• In support of this priority, we invite environmental justice advocates to participate on our next Environmental Justice Community Outreach Call, which will take place on May 16, 2012 at 6 p.m. ET.

2.  The purpose of these calls 

• to provide information to participants about the Agency's EJ activities and 
• to maintain an open dialogue with EJ advocates. 

3.  Hopes and Aims  

As EPA continues to advance Plan EJ 2014, the Agency hopes that these calls will:

• better inform the public about EPA's EJ work and 
• enhance opportunities to take advantage of federal activities. 

4.  Action Requested

• Listen to, or read about, previous calls at http://www.epa.gov/environmentaljustice/events/ej-outreach-calls.html.
• We are taking suggestions on agenda topics for the upcoming call. 
• After receiving your suggestions, we will select the topic(s) that are of general concern to communities. 
• Please keep in mind that the call will only last one hour, so the number of topics discussed will be limited.
• Submit a topic at http://www.epa.gov/environmentaljustice/events/ej-outreach-calls.html.
