PEOPLE OF THE GLOBAL MAJORITY IN THE OUTDOORS, NATURE, AND ENVIRONMENT 2017 SUMMIT JUNE 28-29, 2017 DAVID BROWER CENTER BERKELEY, CA Welcome to the PGM ONE Summit! We are honored by this opportunity to highlight the talents, amplify the voices, and advocate the needs of the collective gathered here. We stand together as people of the global majority, united by our commitment to social justice in the outdoors, nature, and environment. May these two days present an opportunity to connect, heal, learn, and inspire together. May we find the connection necessary to build a community strong enough to weather the times we live in. May we find the healing to nourish ourselves in spite of the challenges we face. May we find the learning that will equip us with the tools for change. And may we find the inspiration to continue the difficult work of standing up for marginalized communities. We thank you for being with us and for your courage and leadership to embody the change necessary for a more equitable industry, country, and planet!
