April 5-28 marks the 45th anniversary of the San Francisco 1977 Disability Rights Protest, a sit-in that demanded the enactment of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. This was a landmark piece of legislation for people with disabilities in the United States and set the groundwork for the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. As we reflect on this incredible historical action, we look to our present Yale environment to ask important questions about how the campus supports and falls short for the disability community.
The conference is an annual gathering of students and early career professionals who are historically underrepresented in the environmental field and/ or committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the field.

Speakers at this year’s conference include Brenda Mallory, David Pellow, Ebony Martin, Julian Agyeman, Shalanda Baker, Tony Reames, Gary Barrett, Chip Giller, Cyndi Saurez, Leah Penniman, and more!
