Relocalizing: Local Insights from Calif & MD

Past event
Aug 15, 2019, 9 to 10:30 AM

Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio - Goddard community members from California and Maryland describe the organizing in their communities around local food and clean water.

9:00 - 10:00 am
Melanie Weir promotes the local food movement in Sacramento and neighboring regions of California. She'll talk about how they get youth involved in local food, where the new jobs are in the food economy, and related topics.

Fred Tutman serves as director of Pawtuxent Riverkeeper in Maryland, a grassroots environmental organization. He describes how the Clean Water Act allowed organizers around this single tributary to the Chesapeake Bay to leverage their work to protect water in the bay as a whole, why it's significant that he's currently the only African-American Waterkeeper in the country, and why he took up blacksmithing as a hobby.
