Water Justice Leadership Institute - OMSI Film Screening
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who attended the Water Justice Leadership Institute short film screening and panel discussion event celebrating Verde’s 18 Years of Impact!
We were joined by nearly 100 attendees, including elected officials, water justice leaders, and more, who joined us at OMSI to engage in our panel discussion and watched our Water Justice short film on Portland's largest screen, an impressive 61-foot-wide and 40-foot-tall display. It was an inspiring moment, highlighting the significance of our collective efforts in this crucial movement.
This event was not only a celebration of Verde’s 18 years of impact but also a testament to the resilience and commitment of our community. We are immensely proud of this milestone and the path we have paved towards a more just and sustainable future.
