<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Greetings, Mid-Ohio Valley Climate
Action folks!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Since we are still restricted from
offering in-person meetings, MOVCA is continuing our pandemic
programming approach. This August, Mid-Ohio Valley Climate Action
is promoting a free webinar series on Community Democracy offered
by Fair Shake Environmental Legal Services. Fair Shake is a
nonprofit law firm that believes everyone should be able to defend
their environment. They provide access to environmental justice
through pro bono and income-based legal services on environmental
issues. (Personal note: I have seen Fair Shake personnel
participating in several recent Zoom events hosted by non-profit
groups with whom MOVCA collaborates, especially on issues relating
to protecting the Ohio River and dealing with the proposed
Appalachian Storage Hub. Seems like Fair Shake would be a good
group to learn from and to learn more about. - Adeline Bailey)<br>

Some examples include zoning, long term land-use planning, environmental permitting, lead hazards, environmental justice, and organizing around risk-management. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">The webinar series runs the week of
August 24th - 28th, with a different topic relating to
environmental justice covered each day, beginning at 2:00 p.m. You
can register for one or all of the daily webinars, depending on
your interests and the time you have available. You can learn more
