Fall Environmental Conference: 2025 Roots in Resistance

Date: October 27, 2025

Location: Harris Stowe State University, Emerson Theatre on Campus, St. Louis, Mo.

About the Conference

This year’s conference will bring together grassroots organizers, legal advocates, scientists, public health experts, and community members from across the country who are confronting some of our most significant environmental injustices.

We will have five panels that day with an emphasis on hearing from impacted communities and how they are organizing, pivoting, and managing resources during a time that is extraordinarily difficult for Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities.

We can't wait to see you there!

Keynote Speaker: Catherine Flowers

We are honored to welcome Catherine Flowers— environmental activist, founder of the Center for Rural Enterprise and Justice, two-time author, and recipient of Time Magazine’s 2025 Earth Award—as our keynote speaker at our conference.
