Call for Delegates! Transformative Advocacy Southwest
Edit this Page
Transformative Advocacy, a program of Women’s Earth Alliance, seeks women public interest attorneys to join our upcoming Transformative Advocacy delegation to the U.S. Southwest!
Women's Earth Alliance is a non-profit organization with the mission of strengthening and uniting women-led environmental initiatives around the world, and the Transformative Advocacy program convenes women environmental professionals with grassroots activists for journeys of conscious dialogue, experiential learning, and appropriate advocacy.
The June 2008 Transformative Advocacy delegation to the U.S. Southwest will convene women public interest attorneys with Native American women working for environmental justice and sustainability in their communities. From June 5 – 15, our delegation will travel through the Southwest to dialogue with Native American women environmental leaders, learn about the environmental injustices facing Native American lands and communities as well as the applicable legal regimes, and develop an understanding of the Native American environmental justice movement.
After the journey, our delegates will prepare a report sharing their findings, locating the issues at stake within a global context and making recommendations for further action. Delegates will also participate in the Women’s Earth Alliance Advocacy Network, an emerging network of attorneys and advocates committed to providing focused technical assistance to grassroots women environmental leaders around the world.
The participants in this journey will affirm their place within the living, growing global network of women working for environmental and social justice. We invite women attorneys with a demonstrated commitment to the public interest, especially in the area of environmental justice, to join our delegation. For more information on how to join this delegation, please contact Caitlin Sislin, Transformative Advocacy Program Director, at caitlin@womensearthalliance.org. Please forward this announcement widely!
