We are excited to be building connections through this event with labor and social justice movements around the County and emphasizing the links between climate justice and transit equity. Here’s where you come in:  We need several volunteers to make this event effective and powerful so please join us to learn more! \nAlso speaking at the meeting will be Emily Frias of CCAN on their two campaigns for this year’s MD legislative session – the No New Fossil Fuels campaign and the Clean Energy Jobs Act. The NNFF campaign seeks to establish legislation requiring public input on any new fossil fuel infrastructure plans in MD. This would stop the Hogan administration from green-lighting yet more LNG pipelines through our state! \nhttps://www.350moco.org/ URL:https://onemontgomerygreen.org/index.php/calendarevent/350moco-meeting-transit-equity-day-planning/ LOCATION:Little Falls Library\, 5501 Massachusetts Ave\,\, Bethesda\, MD\, 20816\, United States CATEGORIES:monthly meeting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://onemontgomerygreen.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/New_Email_Wrapper_take_2_1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190112T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190112T140000 DTSTAMP:20260601T080254 CREATED:20181207T233050Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181207T233050Z UID:3457-1547290800-1547301600@onemontgomerygreen.org SUMMARY:Patuxent Wildlife Visitor Center: Green Fire documentary DESCRIPTION:Patuxent Wildlife Visitor Center Program — In the Theater: Green Fire\nFriday\, Jan. 11th\, 11:00 am\, 12:00 pm\, 1:00 pm\, 2:00 pm\nSaturday\, Jan. 12th\, 11:00 am\, 12:00 pm\, 1:00 pm\, 2:00 pm \nPrograms Held at the National Wildlife Visitor Center\, 10901 Scarlet Tanager Loop\, Laurel\, MD 20708 \nThe Visitor Center is located on Powder Mill Road between the Baltimore-Washington Parkway and Rt. 197. \nAll ages\, no registration\nGreen Fire explores the life and legacy of famed conservationist Aldo Leopold and the many ways his land ethic philosophy lives on in the work of people and organizations all over the country today.
