Following his lecture, Attorney General Becerra will join Parham for a short question and answer session. The Q&A will be followed by a panel discussion with industry leaders that focuses on the moral and legal responsibility to protect all communities from environmental hazards.

The panelists include:
– Tim Watkins, president/CEO of the Watts Labor Community Action Committee
– John Thomlinson, CSUDH professor and chair of the Biology Department
– Hawk McFadzen, CSUDH graduate student and CalFresh Outreach Coordinator

The lecture will take place Thursday, Feb. 7, from 4 to 6 p.m., in the CSUDH Loker Student Union Grand Ballroom. This is a free event, but registration is required. To register visit: https://csudh-distinguished-lecture.eventbrite.com
