Zero Waste Task Force: Getting Money for Westchester EJ Communities
February 12 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Is your community group, non-profit, municipality, or constituency having trouble competing for grant funds? Are you working on environmental justice issues? We can help!
Join us Wednesday 2/12 at 7:30pm on Zoom to learn about the services offered by the Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Center (TC TAC) such as finding grants, technical assistance on applications, grant writing, community education, and more!
WASS has been selected as a Community Voices Cohort member in the WE ACT TCTAC program and will be providing in-person training sessions over the coming year tailored specifically to EJ communities in Westchester County. We want to learn from you what help is needed in your community.
We will be joined by Jordana Vanderselt from WE ACT for Environmental Justice to give an overview of the program and answer your questions. We will also be joined by Senator Pete Harckham (SD40), Chair of the NY Senate Environment and Conservation Committee.
We encourage EJ community members in Peekskill, Port Chester, Yonkers, Mt. Vernon, and New Rochelle to join us and to take this survey (https://forms.gle/Y4tQY1pDbtQcGk4x6), which will allow us to tailor trainings to your needs.
