EPA Video Contest :: The Faces of the Grassroots :: Environmental Justice Stories :: Apps due April 8

The Faces of the Grassroots contest is an opportunity for ameteur and professional videographers to publicly exhibit creativity, environmental justice stories, and connect with others working to raise awareness of the movement.
