Event Concept & Plan
Project details
What we need
- 3-5 one hour calls with an events professional covering topics like concept, general structure, logistics, and target attendees
- A written summary of topics discussed, including event concept and theme, general plan, estimated budget (optional), and articulated goals (feel free to use this template as a starting point)
- Note: This project does not include on-site event coordination or support on the day of the event
Additional details
Our organization is planning a symposium focused on Systems Change and movement building. We would like to make this a collaborative effort, but that has proved difficult. The symposium will focus on the systems that perpetuate the issues tackled by various movements for environmental and social justice groups. We are in the process of applying for grants. This event will be held in-person in Pennsylvania in late April 2022.
What we have in place
- We currently have a committee overseeing the planning process, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have 2 co-sponsoring orgs willing to help with program dev., and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,002 , allowing us to move forward with a clear concept and invite other orgs to design their own workshops, panels, and discussions with ease. We need a clear plan to help guide the committee in charge of planning
We would like to identify shared goals across multiple movements that focus on the issue at a systems level - bringing together issues that stem from the understanding that we are working in a fixed system, designed to perpetuate and legalize harms, despite public opposition or known negative impacts.

Our mission
The Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF) is building a movement for Community Rights and the Rights of Nature to advance democratic, economic, social, and environmental rights - building upward from the grassroots to the state, federal, and international level.
Our mission is to build sustainable communities by assisting people to assert their right to local self-government and the rights of nature.
What we do
Through grassroots organizing, public education and outreach, and legal assistance, CELDF brings communities and groups together to form statewide Community Rights Networks to drive change from the grassroots upward to the state and federal level. Nearly 200 municipalities across the U.S. have enacted CELDF-drafted Community Rights laws which ban practices that violate the rights of people, communities and nature - including fracking, aerial pesticide spraying, factory farming, sewage sludging of farmland, and water privatization.
