Saving the Commons: The Fight to Preserve Our Public Lands and Waters
The current federal administration is seeking to dramatically roll back decades of progress on protecting and revitalizing our public lands and waters, threatening to sell and/or open to extractive industries and developers enormous swathes of our common heritage while eviscerating any regulation of pollution or toxicity. In this panel several key organizations working to push back, limit the damage and build movements to expand the commons not shrink it, and protect and regenerate biodiversity not hasten the extinction crisis, will share their analyses and strategies. With: Sharmeen Morrison, Senior Attorney in Earthjustice’s Biodiversity Defense Program; Katie Umekobo, Managing Director, Lands, Nature at NRDC; others TBA.
