Kick off Pro Bono month by joining the Environmental Justice Assistance Network (EJAN) through BBF Grantee, Alternatives for Community and Environment (ACE)! EJAN is a pro bono capacity-building and referral network that matches legal, scientific, public health, and technical experts with communities that are addressing environmental justice challenges.

This session will provide attendees with the information needed to assist low-income communities and communities of color (environmental justice communities) with fighting environmental hazards. These communities are often navigating the challenges of unhealthy air, water, major developmental proposals, and other issues without access to legal or technical assistance. Attend and learn how you can help!

Prospective volunteers will be encouraged to join the network of EJAN experts and volunteer their pro bono expertise by taking on EJAN cases. ACE offers malpractice coverage for EJAN attorneys (only on EJAN cases) and provides additional resources and trainings to attorneys in the network.
