Beyond Plastics Regional Conference

Join us at the Franklin Institute on Saturday, March 21
It’s easy to feel burned out — but we’ve got your back with Radical Optimism for a World Beyond Plastic. Together, we’ll renew our commitment to ending single-use plastics that harm our health, pollute our environment, and disproportionately burden environmental justice communities. Come get re-energized and learn new ways to engage others in this work — and keep them engaged.
Through interactive, hands-on workshops, you’ll build practical organizing skills to strengthen your advocacy, including power mapping, building and energizing your base, engaging local officials, media training, and organizing impactful film screenings. You’ll also hear from President Judith Enck on the big picture — and be inspired by campaign wins from across the network.
We’ll center the day around stories from people in our region sharing frontline and fenceline community experiences and the impacts on health, local economies, and future generations — grounding us all in why this work matters so deeply and to so many.
Join us for a day of connection, strategy, and momentum.
