REMEMBERING CONNIE HOGARTH
LEGACY: THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES
Connie Hogarth was involved in so many progressive organizations and critical issues that it would be nearly impossible to list them all. She had an amazing gift of bringing people together on varied issues. She saw connections between issues that others saw as separate.
We will talk about how Connie was able to “connect the dots” and find common ground between groups who thought they had little in common. That’s a real legacy!
Connie was a founder of WESPAC, the Westchester People’s Action Coalition, and epitomized “Think Globally, Act Locally”. She worked on Environmental Justice issues decades before that term or its predecessor, Environmental Racism, was coined. Connie was solutions-oriented, goals-oriented, and a mentor and inspiration to thousands of activists over six decades.
Her influence was felt in organizations such as Clearwater; Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition; the SHAD Alliance, which she helped found; and “Parents Concerned About Indian Point”, who were interveners in the 1984 NRC hearings. WESPAC continues her legacy.
Our guests today span the decades of Connie’s work. Judy Allen was the Assistant Director of the Connie Hogarth Center for Social Justice and Charlie Scheiner Co-founder of WESPAC. “Connie was a major part of my life (as well as a mentor and role model) for nearly 50 years”
Connie suggested that donations in her memory could support WESPAC https://wespac.org and/or the Indian Point Safe Energy Coalition
