HUNTSVILLE AREA: We will see you tomorrow evening

HUNTSVILLE AREA: We will see you tomorrow evening (April 17) for the FREE screening of the 2023 Southern Exposure films with our friends at @hsv_environment!

This inspiring evening of film + discussion is an opportunity to catch up with what’s happening with ARA and our partners across Alabama and how you can help.

Wednesday, April 17
Films + Discussion from 6:30 – 9:30 pm
University of Alabama at Huntsville
Shelby Center for Science and Technology Room 107

Created in six weeks during the summer, the 2023 Southern Exposure films celebrate special people and places in Alabama while exploring complex issues and solutions. In this collection, we’ll explore the Sipsey Wilderness through the eyes of a “city girl” and see why our special places need to be protected for all Alabamians. We’ll learn about real wastewater solutions being implemented in the Black Belt, bringing justice to areas that have long been overlooked and underserved for these basic needs. We will meet three Indigenous people who have felt the call to protect their land, and we will hold ADEM’s feet to the proverbial fire as we question why a landfill was left essentially unregulated for years, resulting in the Moody Landfill Fire that raged for months. Finally, we will see just how precious the mussel is to our ecosystem, while learning about a project that would culminate in the most ecologically significant river reconnection project in the history of the United States, right here in Alabama.

We are SO thrilled that the City of Montgomery (@cityofmontgomery) has designated the second Tuesday in April as Rivers of Alabama Day, in symphony with the State Legislature’s designation in 2007! Cindy was invited to accept the proclamation from the FIRST city to make such a designation. We can't wait for other cities and towns across Alabama to follow their lead. Special thank you to the City of Montgomery, Councilor Andrew Szymanski (@aszymanski5), and Mayor Steven L. Reed (@stevenlouisreed) for this special proclamation!

Learn more about what ARA does to celebrate Rivers of Alabama Day (Lobby Day)! from our link in bio and register today to join us in Montgomery April 9 when we return to talk with your representatives about improving our state's fish consumption advisories and a SUPER SECRET exciting NEW bill that will celebrate our state's unique biodiversity! We can't wait to tell you more about it. 🐟

Howdy, Young Professionals of Tuscaloosa! Looking

Howdy, Young Professionals of Tuscaloosa! Looking for a fun Saturday afternoon and to get involved with environmentalism in Alabama? Join ARA's Young Professional River Defenders on April 13 for a hike and social afterwards in Tuscaloosa!

3:00 pm - Gather at Hurricane Creek Park for a guided hike and presentation from YOUR Hurricane Creekkeeper -- the legendary John Wathen! We'll listen to John speak about his efforts to preserve Hurricane Creek and hit the trail after for an easy hike.
*Meet us at 7005 Old Birmingham Hwy, Tuscaloosa, AL 35404.*

Enjoy craft beer and great conversations with fellow young professionals who share your passion for environmental stewardship and community engagement. Plus, we've got pizza coming around 6 pm - because why not treat ourselves after a day of adventure?

Come out to both events - or just one! - for a great time and to learn more about the Alabama Rivers Alliance and the Young Professional River Defenders! The hike is weather-dependent, but we'll gather for a social at Loosa Brews rain or shine. We can't wait to hang out in Tuscaloosa and hope you'll join us!
