“Copenhagen Report-Back: What Now?” Recently returned from the United Nations Climate negotiations in Copenhagen, local activist and award-winning community organizer Evelina Molina will present her first-hand account from the action in the streets, to the action inside the Bella Center where she was a credentialed delegate with Global Exchange. In addition to an analysis of what happened in Copenhagen, the event will focus on local action planned and underway in Sonoma County in response to climate change. She’ll present visuals and share her impressions of what happened and how we move forward from here. Ms. Molina will be joined by Kevin Danaher, co-founder of Global Exchange and the GreenFestivals, who, with his characteristic humor and wit, will offer his perspective and discuss essential local actions to address growing climate instability, the emerging green economy and the green collar jobs and careers that are a key component of this new paradigm. The discussion will be moderated by Norman Solomon, national co-chair of the Healthcare Not Warfare campaign, who will also share his analysis of the media’s coverage of Copenhagen and strategies for a "green new deal."
