Join us for a lecture from Environmental Scholar and Author, Dr. Robert Bullard.
Robert D. Bullard, Ph.D., is the founding director of the Bullard Center for Environmental and Climate Justice and distinguished professor of urban planning and environmental policy at Texas Southern University. He received his Ph.D. degree in sociology from Iowa State University.
In 2021, President Joe Biden named him to the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council (WHEJAC). In 2022, the University of California, Berkeley Ecology Law Quarterly gave him its Environmental Leadership Award, the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) honored him with its Lifetime Achievement Award; Georgetown University and the University of Johannesburg awarded him honorary doctorates; and he was elected to join the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Our beautiful Ohio River was declared the 2nd most endangered river by American Rivers in April due to threats from industrialization and pollution. In U.S. law, nature is considered property to be used as humans decide. Many indigenous people, scientists, and a growing number of ecologically-concerned people believe that the natural (other than human) world has a voice that we must listen to and respect, not only for the health of the natural world but our own health.
One way to offer the natural world protection is to encode this into our legal system. As part of a growing international movement, Citizens for Rights of the Ohio River Watershed (CROW) has started a petition to recognize that the Ohio River and its watershed have a right to thrive and flourish. Come join the presentation and discussion – Is water acred? Why are watersheds important? How did this international movement start? What difference would a rights-based law make? What do faith-based communities have to say about this issue of nature’s rights and protecting our Ohio River watershed? For more information on CROW, go to crowohio.org
Presenters:
Deborah Jordan is the clerk of Community Friends Meeting (Quaker) a founding member of CROW, and a mediator. She has a long history of a concern for natural, biodiverse yards. She is also the producer of the Central Ohio River Valley (CORV) Local Food Guide.
Bill Cahalan is a psychologist who brings the Human-Earth relationship into his work with clients. A founding member of CROW, he teaches a contemplative practice of communion with life. Bill and Deborah engage in regenerative land care on the 9/10ths of an acre in the Bold Face Creek Watershed they call home.
Hosted by Faith Communities Go Green, Advocacy Working Group.
