GROUNDSWELL RISING

from Nancy Stiefel

What: A FREE screening of Groundswell Rising
Where: Ground Floor Farm, 100 SE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Stuart, FL
When: Monday, April 6th, at 6:00 PM

Join Food & Water Watch for a FREE screening of Groundswell Rising, Protecting Our Children’s Air and Water, a film that brings us into the lives of people from all walks of life and all sides of the political spectrum who are dedicating themselves to resisting, slowing down or stopping fracking.

We meet parents, scientists, artists, teachers, clergy, community organizers and business leaders who are convinced that this unproven form of gas extraction is a serious health and environmental risk. Driven by a deep moral conviction, we see how they are standing up to one of the world’s most powerful industries.
After the 70-minute film screening, learn more about the threat that fracking poses to our Sunshine State through a Q & A with Craig Stevens, a resident from Dimock, Pennsylvania whose community’s drinking water was contaminated by fracking.  Craig has seen the devastation that the fracking industry can have firsthand and will talk about what could await Florida's residents if fracking moves forward in the state.

Earth Rights and Recovery Talk

from Greg Wilson


The Seven50 Plan and the SE FL Regional Climate Change Action Plan (RCAP) are serving as national models of how to address climate change impacts through sustainability planning on a regional scale.

 Jan Booher will be speaking at the Treasure Coast Unitarian Universalist Church, 21 SE Central Pkwy, Stuart, FL 34994,Monday night October 21st, 7:00 to 8:30.  Jan is knowledgeable about this plan and has been working with this group for over 2 years. There will also be music and a new song about the Indian River Lagoon by DockStreet Band.

Please come and hear the facts. It is time our leaders took a long term view in leading this region rather than the short term.
