Florida rights of nature algae

Thursday, November 19th - 1:00pm Eastern/10:00am Pacific

On Election Day in the USA, November 3rd, the people in Orange County, Florida, overwhelmingly approved of a rights of nature law. 

With over 1.4 million people in the county, this is the largest place in the USA to legalize the rights of nature!

The law recognizes legal rights of rivers and other waterways. With algae blooms, red tide, and other severe threats to the rivers and waterways of Florida, people and communities are mobilizing for change.

- Chuck O'Neal - Chairman of the Florida Rights of Nature Network and a leader of the campaign in Orange County 

-Nicole Wilson, who was recently elected to the Orange County Commission in Florida

- Joe Bonasia – Southwest Florida Regional Director, Florida Rights of Nature Network

Chuck, Nicole, and Joe will present on the Orange County campaign and how things are developing across Florida. Learn what worked, challenges they face, and more.
