The Planning and Conservation League (PCL) and the PCL Foundation (PCLF) invite members of the press to attend the 2008 PCL Environmental Legislative Symposium, “State of Change: How Californians Can Change The World,”in Sacramento this Saturday, January 12th.
Print and video journalists will have ample opportunities for interviews with California’s leading environmental experts and policy makers, especially addressing current national and state legislative issues.
Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi will kick off the Symposium with a morning keynote. Attorney General Jerry Brown will present an action agenda on global warming at the noon luncheon, and State Senator Darrell Steinberg will talk about fundamental land use reform at our evening banquet.
The rest of the day will include a multitude of “How To” workshops and policy panels that will help participants meet the environmental, economic, and social equity challenges that confront California today. As is always true, the Symposium will provide participants with the tools they need to be effective environmental advocates at the grassroots and statewide level. The complete program can be reviewed on the PCL website at www.pcl.org.
The Planning and Conservation League is a legislative advocacy group that has been at the forefront of environmental battles for more than 43 years. The PCL staff has created some of the most powerful environmental laws in California and its “League” of support organizations helps keep its work on the cutting edge. PCL’s sister organization, the PCL Foundation, provides research for legislation and educational community outreach.
The Mountain Lion Foundation is an organizational Board member of the Planning and Conservation League.
The Planning and Conservation League is a nonpartisan, nonprofit alliance of individuals and conservation organizations working at the state, local, and national levels to protect and restore California's natural environment. |
