Environmental Justice in South DeKalb: Water Testing Training

Location: Everett Park, 5106 Klondike Rd, Lithonia, GA 30038

Date: Sunday May 19^th

Time: 11am

Description:

Following our series of environmental justice forums in South DeKalb this year, the greatest community need became clear. Much more information about the health threats present is needed. While our data science branch continues to collect and examine information from many public data resources, it is clear that more testing will be needed. We cannot wait around for governmental agencies to do this testing for us, we must take this issue into our own hands with community testing.

This training is the first step in developing a data gathering community project that can generate a well-researched set of knowledge and tools to continue with advocacy for the well being of South DeKalb. And don’t forget, water testing is fun!
