SLS Energy & Infrastructure Club, Stanford Law Students for Climate Action, and Stanford Law Democrats are co-hosting a discussion on the Inflation Reduction Act. The event will cover what’s in the law, how it came to pass, and what its implications are for U.S. climate policy and frontline communities.

SLS Lecturer Alicia Seiger will moderate a discussion with:

• David Hayes, former Special Assistant to the President for Climate Policy, who helped to author many of the climate provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act.
• Dana Johnson, Senior Director of Strategy and Federal Policy, WE ACT for Environmental Justice, which works to build healthy communities by assuring that people of color and/or low-income folks participate meaningfully in the creation of sound and fair environmental health and protection policies and practices.
• Brandon Dennison, CEO, Coalfield Development, which strives to cultivate communities of opportunity and promote a just transition in central Appalachia.

The talk will start at 12:50 pm. Lunch will be available before the talk in Crocker Courtyard to individuals who RSVP-ed.
