Environmental and social justice groups have learned that we are much stronger in coalition, and that positive changes happen when we support each other’s initiatives. Our elected officials notice and respond when we come out in strength and speak with one voice. Lynda Hopkins, farmer, environmentalist, and Sonoma County Supervisor, will give her insights on issues that are facing us and how we can best bring solutions to elected officials.
