We would like to formally invite you to an online forum on August 5th, 2020 presented by Regeneración in collaboration with the California State University Monterey Bay Environmental Studies program. Our forum, entitled "Climate of Hope", will focus on how the Pajaro Valley and other agricultural communities are being affected by climate change and promoting solutions and strategies for equitable climate action.

What: Climate of Hope Online Forum - How climate change is affecting agricultural communities

When: August 5, 3-5 pm PST with optional networking 5-6 pm

RSVP: Register in English

Register in Spanish

Featured speakers include:

Assemblymember Robert Rivas, 30th District California

Yana Garcia, Deputy Secretary for Environmental Justice, Tribal Affairs and Border Relations, California Environmental Protect Agency

Natalie Hernandez of Climate Resolve will moderate a panel of local experts including:

Juan Hernandez, Pajaro Valley farmworker

Claudia Pineda Tibbs, Sustainability Professional and Conservation Communicator, La Eco Latina

Javier Zamora, JSM Organics

Dr. Flavio Cornejo, Salud Para la Gente Clinic

We will be presenting new data from a survey conducted with local farmers and displaying slides from a powerful art show called Campesinos: Workers of the Land, from the Pajaro Valley Arts Gallery. 

We hope to share this program with a diverse audience across the state so that we can begin to understand and improve the lives of farmworkers who are the backbone of California's agricultural industry. Attendees will also be given the option to join a virtual networking meeting after the webinar for further discussion.
