Every year around this time environmental lawyers, organizers and activists converge on Eugene, Oregon for the Public Interest Environmental Law Conference, held at the University of Oregon Law School. Three days of panel discussions run the gamut from Indigenous Rights to water issues to Nuclear Power to Climate to the war in Gaza. When the conference is over, attendees return home, recharged to continue their work or take on new projects.
On this episode of Locus Focus we hear a report back from the conference with Bethany Cotton, Conservation Director for Cascadia Wildlands and Bonnie McKinley, long time activist with Rumble on the River and the Tributary Alliance.
