SUMMARY:Poisoning the Well: How Forever Chemicals Contaminated America
DESCRIPTION:Author Sharon Udasin will discuss her new book\, “Poisoning the Well: How Forever Chemicals Contaminated America.” Learn how PFAS — a set of toxic chemicals most people have never heard of — poisoned the entire country. Based on original\, shoe-leather reporting in four highly contaminated towns and damning documents from the polluters’ own files\, Poisoning the Well traces an ugly history of corporate greed and devastation of human lives. Udasin is an environment reporter who has been delving into water contamination and conservation issues for fifteen years. She was a Ted Scripps Fellow in Environmental Journalism at the University of Colorado Boulder and has reported for numerous outlets\, most recently covering U.S. West climate issues for “The Hill” from 2021-2025. She co-authored “Poisoning the Well” with Rachel Frazin.\n\nRECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here \nDATE: Wednesday\, January 14 \nTIME: 7:00 PM \nLOCATION: Online via Zoom

SUMMARY:Fireside Chat with Author Tara Lohan
DESCRIPTION:Join American Rivers for a special virtual fireside chat with journalist Tara Lohan to celebrate the release of her new book\, Undammed: Freeing Rivers and Bringing Communities to Life. The book charts the rise of the dam removal and river restoration movement and shares the remarkable benefits of undamming waterways to benefit people and wildlife. Tara’s reporting spans the country\, capturing the passion and persistence of the advocates\, scientists\, Tribal leaders\, and local residents working to free America’s waterways from outdated and harmful dams. \nThrough compelling narrative and clear-eyed hope\, Tara demonstrates that undamming is not just an environmental intervention—it’s a community-led transformation that is reshaping landscapes and lives. This conversation is ideal for anyone interested in conservation\, community health and public safety\, cultural revitalization\, and the power of local action to spark meaningful change. \nRegister Here \nDATE: Thursday\, January 15 \nTIME: 4:00 PM \nLOCATION: Online via Zoom
