Keynote: Omar Freilla & Green Worker Coooperatives

Environmental restoration can succeed only if it meaningfully addresses social justice and the elimination of poverty. Omar Freilla, one of the nation’s most dynamic and creative young environmental justice leaders, is a founding board member of Sustainable South Bronx and recently launched Green Worker Cooperatives, an inspiring initiative dedicated to the creation of worker-owned, environmentally friendly manufacturing cooperatives in the South Bronx.
