<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">You are invited to the 2017 Coalition Against Environmental Racism<b><i> 23rd Annual CAER Conference: “Wisdom in Water: Protecting a Universal Right.”</i></b> on
<b>Saturday April 8th, 2017.</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">CAER is a University of Oregon student organization committed to bridging the gaps of social and environmental equality. Environmental Racism addresses the fact that underprivileged people, specifically communities
of color, are disproportionately impacted by pollution, waste disposal, hazardous sites, resource depletion, and natural disasters in the natural and built environment. CAER exists as a resistance to this inequality, and as a strong and visible piece of the
Environmental Justice Movement -- a movement composed of the mobilization of people, communities, and organizations committed to fighting Environmental Racism in urban and rural settings across the country and the world.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The theme for our conference this year is centered around water
</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt">due to the recent struggles the state of Oregon and the nation face in regards to clean water and access.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We have the honor of hosting the<b> Father of Environmental Justice</b> as our keynote speaker.
<b>Robert D. Bullard</b> is Distinguished Professor of Urban Planning and Environmental Policy in the Barbara Jordan-Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs at Texas Southern University in Houston, Texas. He is often described as the
<a href="http://www.grist.org/news/maindish/2006/03/14/dicum/">father of environmental justice</a>. Professor Bullard received his Ph.D. degree from Iowa State University. He is the author of seventeen books that address sustainable development, environmental
racism, urban land use, industrial facility siting, community reinvestment, housing, transportation, climate justice, emergency response, smart growth, and regional equity. Professor Bullard was featured in the July 2007 CNN People You Should Know,
<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/07/17/pysk.bullard/index.html">Bullard: Green Issue is Black and White</a>. In 2008,
<i>Newsweek</i> named him one of <a href="http://www.bet.com/news/national/photos/2011/04/top-black-environmentalists.html#!042111-news-national-environment-robert-bullard">
13 Environmental Leaders of the Century</a>. And that same year, Co-op America honored him with its Building Economic Alternatives Award (BEA).
