Join us for the next Ecology Network call, featuring Dr. Christopher Basaldú of the South Texas Environmental Justice Network (STEJN).
note: this event is about environmental justice for Indigenous Americans and is included on the NENJP calendar in solidarity for the shared battle against erasure and harm - afp
Dr. Basaldú, a member of the Carrizo Comecrudo Nation and a leading advocate for environmental and social justice in South Texas, will be discussing the ongoing fight to protect sacred lands and the environment from corporate polluters like SpaceX and LNG. As a founding member of STEJN, Dr. Basaldú has been at the forefront of efforts to halt the harmful environmental impacts caused by these major corporations, particularly in the region's vulnerable communities.
One critical issue being highlighted in his work is the continued expansion of SpaceX's operations at Starbase, including a major upcoming launch on August 27th. Dr. Basaldú will talk about the efforts of the South Texas Environmental Justice Network to stop further space launches by pressuring South Texas representatives. These groups are leading a letter campaign urging the suspension of future space activities.
This call is a crucial opportunity to learn about the intense grassroots work being done to prevent further environmental degradation and to explore ways we can collectively take action to protect South Texas.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of the key voices in this battle for environmental justice and to find out how you can support the ongoing campaign to stop further space activities in South Texas. Partake in the letter campaign here.
