In conjunction with an exhibit of industrial landscapes by acclaimed photographer Edward Burtynsky, Sunflower Alliance and the David Brower Center are co-sponsoring a forum, “A Just Transition: From Refineries to Renewables,” to highlight the human stories that drive the shifting energy paradigm.

Most Bay Area residents are unaware of the extent to which their homes, workplaces and local communities are affected by local refineries and refinery-related transport.  In this interactive conversation, Bay Area refinery corridor residents and energy visionaries will offer testimony about their shared work toward a sustainable energy future.  Speakers include Jack Lucero Fleck of 350 Bay Area, Jessica Hendricks of Global Community Monitor, oil and energy journalist Antonia Juhasz, Greg Karras of Communities for a Better Environment, Colin Miller of Bay Localize, Janet Pygeorge of the Rodeo Citizens Association, and Nancy Rieser of the Bay Area Refinery Corridor Coalition.

Eventbrite tickets can be purchased here.
