Looking to Liaise with Injured Workers and Labour Groups to Try to Connect with People Advocating for Environmental Health in the Workplace, Specifically for Toxics-Free Workplaces

Hello,

I am a lawyer with Ecojustice, a national environmental law charity who works in the Healthy Communities team. Our team is focused on bringing litigation on toxics, with a focus on marginalized communities. I’m interested in liaising with some injured workers and labour groups to try to connect with people advocating for environmental health in the workplace, specifically for toxics-free workplaces. I’m particularly interested in liaising with workers in industrial sectors like mining, smelting, refining as well as agricultural workers who deal with pesticides.

If you or someone you know might have interests in this area please let me know how to get in touch.

Many thanks!
