SUMMARY:Climate Change Solutions - Nature of the Flood: Understanding Our Dynamic Rivers and Bayous
DESCRIPTION:We hope you’ll join Transition Houston as we discuss Climate Change Solutions! \nBrad Carter will present the Nature of the Flood: Understanding Our Dynamic Rivers and Bayous on Tuesday\, May 7\, 2019 @ 6:30pm.\nSocializing starts at 6:30pm and the meeting begins at 7:00pm at the Haven’s Center\, 1827 W Alabama St\, Houston\, TX 77098.  \nWith a new hurricane season upon us\, our meeting will feature a presentation and Q&A by Dr. Brad Carter who will focus on the issue of flooding and understanding how our rivers and bayous play a role in mitigation and flood risk reduction. \nEvery year\, damage from storms – hurricanes\, intense rainstorms\, Nor’easters – makes the news as flood waters wash away structures\, roads\, and topsoil. Floods are natural events but their impacts are often unnecessarily magnified when a lack of understanding\, of the functions of wetlands results in their filling\, draining and development. \nClimate shapes where and how we live and the environment around us and the Houston Climate Movement is leading the way for local action! Texas\, and Houston in particular\, face unique risks and challenges due to the impacts of climate change\, from flooding to heat to droughts and more. \nWe hope you’ll be a part of the journey to address these issues. \nAbout Our Speaker\nDr. Carter received a PhD in Geology from North Carolina State University in 2006.  He has 12 years of professional experience working as a structural geologist in academia and the petroleum industry.  In academia\, Dr. Carter has taught courses in physical geology\, structural geology\, and hydrogeology and mentored student research projects. \nIn the petroleum industry\, his work has focused on deciphering the geologic framework and evolution of sedimentary basins around the world.  Outside of his professional work\, Dr. Carter recently completed Urban Harvest’s Permaculture Design Course and is focused on helping Houstonians become knowledgeable about Earth’s natural processes and how to work with nature to create a more sustainable Houston.

SUMMARY:Undeterred:  Community Resistance on the US/Mexico Border (film showing & meet-n-greet w/filmmaker)
DESCRIPTION:Undeterred is a documentary about community resistance in the rural border town of Arivaca\, Arizona. Since NAFTA\, 9/11 and the Obama and Trump administrations border residents have been on the front-lines of the humanitarian crisis caused by increased border enforcement build up. Undeterred is an intimate and unique portrait of how residents in a small rural community\, caught in the cross-hairs of global geo-political forces\, have mobilized to demand our rights and to provide aid to injured\, oft times dying people funneled across a wilderness desert. The film was made by Eva Lewis\, a resident of Arivaca and long time member of People Helping People in the Border Zone (PHP). Undeterred was created in close collaboration with the Arivaca community and members of PHP.   Eva Lewis and other town members will be here to discuss the film. \n  \nThe Problem\n\nThe Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects Americans from random and arbitrary stops and searches.\nAccording to the government\, however\, these basic constitutional principles do not apply fully at our borders. For example\, at border crossings (also called “ports of entry”)\, federal authorities do not need a warrant or even suspicion of wrongdoing to justify conducting what courts have called a “routine search\,” such as searching luggage or a vehicle.\n\nhttps://www.aclu.org/other/constitution-100-mile-border-zone for more info on the situation. \nTrailer: \n \n \nUndeterred Trailer from Deep Dish TV on Vimeo. \n  \n  \n
