Description
Alyssa Lyon is the Sustainable Communities Director at Pittsburgh's Green Building Alliance and Mandy Lee is the manager of the NAACP’s Centering Equity in the Sustainable Building Sector initiative. We talked to Lee and Lyon about promises the green building industry has made about social equity, and the CESBS’s efforts to make good on those in a broad, collective way. This is thanks to Jacqui Patterson, who founded the NAACP’s Environmental Justice program. The work is local, regional, and national, and it focuses on how the industry can bring, as Lyon puts it, “light and resources” to the movement and to people and communities.
