Nevada City, Calif. January 15, 2019 – The Women’s Wave continues in the birthplace of the 19th Amendment and Wild & Scenic Film Festival, the largest environmental film fest of its kind in the United States. Everyone is welcome to participate Saturday, January 19th, 2019 in downtown Nevada City at Robinson Plaza at 12pm, for a short kick off program, followed by a sidewalk only, march through historic Nevada City and commencing with Facebook Live Women’s March Roundtable Discussion from Wild & Scenic Film Festival Media Lounge at The Nevada City Winery at 1pm hosted by See Jane Do’s, Elisa Parker.  “The first march I was in Washington, DC and last year I attended Sacramento Women’s March. This year, with the timing of the Film Festival and recent Wild Fires, it felt important to be closer to home creating connection and learning from some of the most inspiring activists in the world. This movement isn’t directed by just a handful of people.  It is about every single one of us rising up as a leader to voice and determine the direction of our country, protect our democracy, our communities and co-create systems that are driven by equity and inclusivity.” Says Parker.
“As a mother, grandmother, aunt, sister and teacher, I am participating in the women’s march because I am concerned about the world we will leave for seven generations to come.” Says Wild and Scenic special guest and Women’s March speaker, Catherine Flowers. Flowers is featured in the film, The Accidental Environmentalist and is a Senior Fellow for the Environmental Justice and Civic Engagement at the Center for Earth Ethics.  She is also the founder of the Alabama Center for Rural Enterprise Community Development Corporation (ACRE) which seeks to address the root causes of poverty by seeking sustainable solutions.
