SAVE THE DATE for an inspiring evening of environmental justice storytelling, poetry, and conversation.

Join People over Plastic (PoP) on October 13th at DC’s iconic Busboys and Poets - 14th & V to hear the unfiltered voices of powerful environmental justice champions from around the country.

With 99% of plastic coming from fossil fuels today, PoP believes conversations about the climate crisis AND the plastic crisis must center on people of color and indigenous voices who are most impacted by it.

The salon-style conversation will be moderated by artist and innovator, Michelle Antoinette Nelson, a seasoned entertainer and the founder of Brown and Healthy - a global initiative focused on community engagement and wellness curation led by people of color.

So grab a seat and join the conversation!

ABOUT PoP

People over Plastic (PoP) is a BIPOC-led cultural and media collective for multicultural changemakers to hear powerful, intergenerational, and solutions-oriented conversations that center on the intersection between environmental and racial justice.

We believe personal stories that center the voices of the most impacted will always be more accurate and humanized, and therefore, more likely to drive meaningful social change.

Through in-person storytelling salons, digital media projects, and strategic media campaigns — we tell stories to disrupt harmful narratives and to inform movements for justice.
