Our first round of speakers addressed food and sustainability issues in "'To Eat or Not to Eat:' Surviving in a Post Climate Change World." The panel featured Martin Goebel of Sustainable Northwest, Paul Greenberg, author of Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food, and Anna Lappe, author of Diet for a Hot Planet: The Climate Crisis at the End of Your Fork and What You Can Do About It. Some of the highlights included talks on food migration, waste, climate change, and overfishing.
Our second panel, entitled "Criminal Justice and Human Rights," brought together leaders working at the intersection of those particular fields. Those experts included Malika Saada Saar of the Rebecca Project for Human Rights, Wade Henderson of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, and Margaret Huang of the Rights Working Group. Most notably, the panel touched upon racial profiling, immigration reform, and the incarceration of women in the U.S.
