FRIENDS OF THE EVERGLADES

Friends of the Everglades will host a virtual panel discussion, “Florida’s Right to Clean Water,” on April 18 from noon to 1 p.m. via Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and Twitter. The panelists will discuss the Florida Right to Clean Water movement, which aims to solidify Floridians’ right to clean and healthy water by getting an amendment on the 2026 ballot, and what it will take to get the amendment on the ballot. It will include Florida Right to Clean Water Operations and Communications Director Joseph Bonasia, Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation Environmental Policy Director Matt DePaolis, Calusa Waterkeeper Codty Pierce, Friends of the Everglades Executive Director Eve Samples and VoteWater Executive Director Gil Smart. There will be time for questions. For more information or to register, visit https://www.everglades.org/register-now-for-a-live-discussion-onfloridas-right-to-clean-water/.
