Join Commissioner Terry and the D6 Team for an Environmental Justice panel discussion featuring leaders in DeKalb County and Georgia.

In April, Commissioner Terry introduced a resolution to create a resident-led DeKalb Environmental Justice Commission to provide for collaboration, transparency and ensure accountability to create a more equitable and sustainable future for all of DeKalb County.
