Anti-Oppression
The Local Environmental Action team is committed to anti-oppression because we want everyone to be able to participate in this movement. We want the conference to be a space where people of color, low-income people, Black, Brown & Indigenous folks, women, transgender and genderqueer people, gay, lesbian and queer folks, folks with disabilities and otherwise marginalized are able name impact and receive apologies. Please join us in working to create that space and please contact Claire Muller at claire@toxicsaction.org or cell phone 781-775-1429 with any questions or to ask for support.
Accessibility
We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. To be respectful of those with allergies and environmental sensitivities, we ask that you please refrain from wearing strong fragrances; however, Northeastern University is not a scent-free campus. All of the spaces we will be using at Northeastern University are ADA compliance and service-animal friendly. There are several accessible parking spots located near the entrance to the building we will be using, and an accessible parking garage (Gainsborough) nearby. Personal care assistants do not need to register for the conference. To request an accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility, including interpretation or mobility assistance, please contact Shaina Kasper at shaina@toxicsaction.org or cell phone: 802-922-4780.
