SUMMARY:Conversation with Maya K. van Rossum | The Green Amendment
DESCRIPTION:Online & In-Person\n\n \n\nIn preparation for Earth Day 2023\, 
 join us in the library or online for a conversation with Maya K. van 
 Rossum\, author of The Green Amendment: The People's Fight for a Clean\, 
 Safe\, and Healthy Environment\, a roadmap to a healthier world—one that 
 uses the law to empower activists and provide hope for communities 
 everywhere. Joining van Rossum are Delaware State Representative Madinah 
 Wilson-Anton\, lead sponsor of Delaware's proposed Green Amendment\, and 
 Delaware State Representative Kerri Evelyn Harris.\n\nIn The Green 
 Amendment\, veteran environmentalist Maya K. van Rossum presents her 
 radically simple plan for a green future: bypass local laws and turn to the 
 ultimate authority—our state and federal constitutions—to ensure we 
 have the right to a healthy environment. Through compelling interviews with 
 activists on the ground\, clear evidence from experts\, and heartbreaking 
 stories from those hit hardest by environmental ruin\, this book lights the 
 path forward.\n\nMaya K. van Rossum has served as the Delaware Riverkeeper 
 since 1996\, championing the rights of over 17 million people to a 
 free-flowing\, clean\, and healthy Delaware River and its tributary 
 streams. In 2013\, she was one of the original petitioners in the landmark 
 Robinson Township v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania case. Since 2002\, she 
 has served as an adjunct professor and director of the Environmental Law 
 Clinic at Temple’s Beasley School of Law\, which she founded. van Rossum 
 published the first edition of her book\, The Green Amendment\, in 2017. 
 She lives in Delaware County\, Pennsylvania with her family.\n\nWe invite
