2009 was a banner year for Women’s Earth Alliance, there’s no doubt about it. But we knew that the wave of momentum wasn’t going to stop. In fact, here on our blog we predicted that “2010 is going to rock.”
So far it has, thanks to you. Last week we held the first Women’s Earth Alliance event of 2010 and a lively crowd of 200 people were there to listen, share, and experience.
The evening kicked off with a Local Water Solutions Salon that featured the work of Bay Localize, Greywater Action, DIG Co-op, Eco House, Planting Justice, River of Words, Environmental Justice Coalition for Water, Kids for the Bay, One Earth Bottles/Nubius Organics, The Watershed Project and SWALE.
Then, along with our Global Women’s Water Initiative (GWWI) collaborators Jan Hartsough of Crabgrass and Gemma Bulos of A Single Drop, we shared stories, photographs and a rockin’ video of our shared work in West Africa last month. We invite you to check out GWWI 2010 video by Unseen Pictures and share it with others!
Finally, one of the world’s experts on women’s involvement in environmental and social justice, Kavita Ramdas of the Global Fund for Women, spoke about what women are doing around the world to lift themselves, their families and their communities. Kavita and the Global Fund have been long supporters of GWWI and we are especially grateful for their support of our work, their compassion for women around the world, and their vision for a socially and environmentally just world.

Thanks to all that attended, sponsored, tabled, and sang!
