On April 3rd in Boise, journalist and Idaho Magazine managing editor Steve Bunk will launch his new book “Goliath Staggered.” The book “follows the rise, growth, and triumph of the people’s movement to prevent major oil companies from transforming Highway 12’s federally protected Wild and Scenic River corridor through northern Idaho into a high-and-wide industrial thoroughfare.”
Book signing party: Moscow: April 23rd, 7 p.m., at BookPeople, 521 S. Main, 208-882-2669. Event sponsors: Friends of the Clearwater and Wild Idaho Rising Tide.
On Wednesday April 30, FOC and Save Our Wild Salmon are co-sponsoring the documentary DamNation, which takes a critical look at the dam building era of the 20th Century and the efforts to decommission dams and recover native fish and aquatic ecosystems in the 21st Century. The film starts 7 pm at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre,508 S. Main Street, Moscow. Watch the trailer.
You are invited to the ‘March for Survival’ Sept. 21 at 2 pm in Pullman, followed by a Celebration at 6 pm in Moscow. We will walk from Pullman to Moscow on the Chipman trail in solidarity with the ‘People’s Climate March’, the biggest demonstration in the history of the climate change movement on the same day in NY City. Our March and Celebration are peaceful events of healing, hope, and inspiration for all. We will promote climate change awareness and support those suffering from the environmental consequences of Canada’s tar sands oil extraction, especially First Nations Peoples.
Our March begins at 2 pm at the head of the Chipman Trail (Quality Inn parking lot) with a Native American blessing by Roger Vielle. We will walk the length of the Chipman Trail to its endpoint across from the Palouse Mall (8 miles), with an option to exit at the halfway point. You are invited to bring signs expressing your concerns about climate change. Bring water bottles, snacks, and outdoor clothing suitable for an 8-mile walk (hot sunny weather is forecast).
Our Celebration begins at 6 pm in Friendship Square in Moscow, with a potluck, Native American drummers, local environmental speakers, and opportunities to connect with like-minded community members and groups.
Carpools will meet at 1 pm at the southeast corner of the Palouse Mall parking lot which is across the lot from Winco – (intersection of Pullman Rd & Farm Rd), across the road from the end of the Chipman trail. This will enable residents to return to Pullman or to go to Friendship Square after the March.
Organized by the Palouse Environmental Sustainability Coalition. For more information contact Lori Batina skydancer8@gmail.com, Pat Fuerst epfuerst@frontier.com, 509-339-5213, or our Facebook page “Palouse March for Survival”.
