Join Climate Classes D.C. and the D.C. chapter of Citizens’ Climate Lobby to learn about the current states of climate action and home rule—and what is at stake. D.C.’s limited self-governance has wide-ranging, unjust consequences. In this panel, we discussed foundational information on D.C.’s Home Rule and D.C.’s climate action, as well as what the implications of a Home Rule repeal could be for D.C.’s climate initiatives.

We were in discussion with experts on climate action, home rule, and environmental justice in D.C.: Jamoni Overby, DC Conservation Advocate at Nature Forward; Annette Olson, Executive Director at Climate Steps; Vanessa Batters-Thompson, Executive Director at D.C. Appleseed Center for Law and Policy
