Celebrate Earth Day with the LA Greens on April 15

"Water Justice and Preparing for Peak Water" -- Wed., April 15, 2009 7PM

For Earth Day 2009, the Los Angeles Greens will host a panel of speakers discussing important and timely water issues in California.

Our two guest speakers are Rev. Hannah Petrie and Conner Everts.

The Rev. Hannah Petrie will speak on water justice issues. She is associate minister at Neighborhood Unitarian Universalist Church in Pasadena, CA. She also serves on a state-wide UU water issues team.

Conner Everts is the executive director of the Southern California Watershed Alliance and co-chair of the Desal Response Group. He is chair of Public Officials for Water and Environmental Reform (POWER) with its annual water policy conference and on the Board of Water for California, as well as other organizations. Conner was elected to the Casitas Municipal Water District and president of the Ojai Basin Management Ground Water Agency. His most important work is as elder advisor to the Environmental Justice for Water and with the Southern California Steelhead Coalition helping remove dams on the streams where he caught fish as a youth and hopefully others can in the future.

Los Angeles Greens' meetings are free (donations accepted) and open to the public. Children are welcome. Free parking is available behind the building. This is a vegetarian potluck. Bring some food if you can! And bring your own utensils/plate if possible to minimize waste/clean-up.
