This past year has been challenging for many. Many public service personnel have had to adjust to shifting federal priorities, uncertain political support, and new leadership dynamics. So, how do you stay committed to water equity when the political winds shift?
In this intimate, story-driven webinar, we’ll hear from Marco Merrick, Chief of the Office of Equity and Environmental Justice at the Baltimore City Department of Public Works. Marco will discuss Baltimore’s historical and political landscape and the power of local action on water equity. He will provide insights for embedding equity into governmental structures and building lasting partnerships along the way.
Join us to explore:
- What it means to lead equity work from within public institutions
- How to navigate historical and structural barriers to equity
- The importance of persistence and partnerships
This conversation won’t offer all the answers—but it will offer real talk, hard-earned lessons, and reflections on how to remain resilient in the face of challenges to diversity, equity, and inclusion at the national level.
Join us on October 28th to hear what local-level efforts can look like and achieve – register here!
