Latino/a Culture, Heritage and Conservation for the Environment
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Commonwealth Club
(see times)
Panelists: Adrianna Quintero, Senior Attorney; Director, Latino Outreach, Natural Resources Defense Council; Gary Segura, Professor of American Politics and Chair of Chicano/a Studies, Stanford University; Anita Martinez, Retired College Educator; Environmentalist; Community Health and Safety Activist
Most people don't automatically label Latinos and Latinas as environmentalists. A deeper look at family, home and community values reveals a long-standing generational commitment to conservation and the wise use of everyday resources in daily life. California's changing demographics all point to a tremendous potential for local, national and worldwide political environmental progress as we listen and learn about the conservation practices of our Latino and Latina families and communities.
Commonwealth Club: 5:30 p.m. networking wine reception, 6 - 7 p.m. program, $8 members, $7 students, $20 non-members
