The Women’s Earth Alliance is holding the Seeds of Resilience event on September 12^th at 6:30 p.m. at the The David Brower Center • 2150 Allston Way, Suite 460 Berkeley, CA 94704  • 510.859.9106

“Women’s Earth Alliance (WEA) emerged from a meeting in Mexico City where 30 women leaders from 26 countries gathered to create solutions to a common concern: the lack of support available to women working on the front lines of social and environmental challenges. Today, WEA partners with community-based organizations globally to uplift local solutions to issues of water, food, land, and climate change by providing women with trainings, resources, and advocacy support. WEA’s programs are based on the belief that when women thrive, communities, the environment, and future generations thrive.”      

This important women’s global environmental organization is based here in Berkeley at the David Brower Center. Come out to this event or stop by their website or office and see what they are up to.
