THE LOS ANGELES GREENS INVITE YOU TO A SPECIAL EARTH DAY EVENT:
REX WEYLER, CO-FOUNDER OF GREENPEACE INTERNATIONAL, SPEAKS ON
"SUSTAINING ACTIVISM"
Rex Weyler, author of the newly published Greenpeace: How a Group of Ecologists, Journalists and Visionaries Changed the World, will speak about sustaining our commitment to the Earth, organizing and staying active. He will share lessons he learned from his experience with Greenpeace, how he dealt with a variety of views and internal struggles, and how we can engage the public and media in the defense of our fragile ecology.
Mr. Weyler is a journalist, focusing on human rights, native rights, and ecology issues since 1972, receiving a Pulitzer Prize nomination for his Native American history, "Blood of the Land," and a Columbia School of Journalism Award for exposing nuclear contamination of the Rio Puerco in New Mexico. He helped draft environmental legislation in Canada, where he lives, including dioxin effluent legislation for pulp mills in British Columbia.
Please join us in welcoming Rex Weyler.
