We are Rachel's Network.

Pollution is the leading cause of death worldwide, taking more than nine million lives each year, yet it is one of the most under-funded global issues. Join Pure Earth’s President Richard Fuller and its pollution experts: Lara Crampe, Drew McCartor, and Judith St. Fort to learn about their efforts to reduce pollution and its migration by improving toxic practices and cleaning up contaminated sites in low- and middle-income countries.

To participate in this webinar, RSVP to Jamie.

Join Members Kim Milligan and Abi Rome, American Rivers, and Washington Women’s Foundation to celebrate the success of modern dam removal efforts with a moderated panel and day trip to North Puget Sound. A dam in the Middle Fork of the Nooksack River has blocked salmon, steelhead, and bull trout for nearly 60 years. As a result of collaboration between the City of Bellingham, American Rivers, local indigenous communities, and funding support from philanthropic and agency partners, the dam will be removed in 2020. Guests will hear about important regional topics related to dam removal, be guided on a tour of the Middle Fork Nooksack’s dam removal project, and enjoy a reception in Bellingham.

At our 2019 Fall Retreat, we’ll learn about environmental issues facing the South, enjoy the natural beauty of the Piedmont region, and take part in honest and invigorating conversations about environmental justice and climate change in a rapidly-growing city rich with culture and history.

We’ll explore how the city has repurposed its industrial past into a vibrant incubator of ideas and innovation. We’ll also have opportunities to visit historic civil rights landmarks, repurposed industrial spaces, and Durham’s critically-acclaimed foodie scene.

Durham is the ideal urban retreat location to engage in essential dialogue, indulge in self-renewal, and continue to elevate women leaders to tackle hard-hitting environmental issues.
