Join the Environmental Justice Assistance Network (EJAN) for a free training on the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) public review process, which gives YOU the chance to weigh in before projects are permitted. You'll hear from the MEPA Office's Environmental Justice Liaison, a practicing attorney, and a community organizer who have been through these fights -- and won!

This training is for residents, community organizers, and nonprofits across Massachusetts who want the tools to ensure their voices are heard. You’ll leave with skills to review a MEPA project filing, write an effective comment letter, organize community responses, and connect with legal and technical experts who can back you up.

The session will also highlight resources available through EJAN and partner organizations, creating space for participants to connect with one another, share experiences, and build collective power to advocate for healthy, equitable, and thriving communities.

Toni Morrison’s impact is two-fold as a writer and editor. Her work transformed the American imagination, widening the literary lens and re-centering it on voices and ideas previously obscured in public discourse. Seven years after her passing, we’re experiencing, not a revival, but a re-canonization of Toni Morrison as evidenced by the release of new editions of her work with forewords by contemporary superstars like Tayari Jones and Honorée Jeffers. At Just Book-ish we're celebrating these re-issues with the Morrison Seminar led by Taylor Lena McTootle.


Books like Sula, The Bluest Eye, Beloved and Song of Solomon are widely discussed, but over the next four months, we’ll take a look at the equally ingenious Tar Baby, Jazz, and Paradise, each for their unique perspectives. The Morrison Seminar at Just Book-ish is an opportunity to learn about the woman, the writer and to receive and share insights on Morrison’s worlds. Join us! We welcome you.
