FeatureSept. 14: Environmental Rights Amendment Forum
Join us in Philadelphia for an evening dedicated to understanding the Pennsylvania Constitution’s Environmental Rights Amendment. You’ll hear from legal experts, legislators, and current and former state officials, who will share their perspectives on this often-misunderstood provision. In addition to reflecting on the historical context in which the Amendment emerged, forum panelists will explain relevant case law, discuss needed enforcement, and consider the future implications of the Amendment for Pennsylvania’s citizens and environment.
