“The essence of the problem is about consumption, recognizing that a society that consumes one third of the world’s resources is unsustainable. This level of consumption requires constant intervention into other people’s lands. That’s what’s going on.” Winona LaDuke

DONATE

The fundraising campaign is underway! We’re on the streets, on the phone, on Facebook, and via email to make sure this event is as engaging, educational, and uniting as possible. Please follow the link to paypal and donate whatever you can. The cost of attendance to a for-profit event of this magnitude would easily be in the $40-60 range, so our suggested donation is a modest $20. If you will be able to attend, think of your donation as the price of admission.  If you can’t attend, consider your donation a contribution to a powerful cause! Thanks so much already!
