UC Davis Police swears in its first DACA immigrant officer. Also, a conversation with Senate candidate Rep. Adam Schiff. Finally, the Wild & Scenic Film Festival in Nevada County. UC Davis PD Hires First DACA Officer A recent California law removed the U.S. citizenship requirement for people seeking to become peace officers - expanding eligibility to those with federal work authorization. UC Davis Police Department recently hired its first officer who is a beneficiary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Officer Ernesto Moron joins Insight to talk about his life experience along with UC Davis police chief Joe Farrow - one of the champions of the new law, who talks about what the expanded eligibility can mean for both police departments and people seeking a career in law enforcement. Senate Candidate Rep. Adam Schiff As we round the corner to the primary election, we're going to narrow in on the pivotal race for Senate and have conversations with the leading candidates. Rep. Adam Schiff joins us about what sets him apart from his opponents - as well as his top priorities if elected.

On this week's Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, catches up with an old friend who was in Louisville nearly a year ago facilitating a listening session at the Community Boathouse about developing an Ohio River Restoration Plan. Jordan Lubetkin is the Director of Ohio River Restoration for the National Wildlife Federation (https://www.nwf.org/ohioriver) and the Communications Director for the Healing Our Waters-Great Lakes Coalition (https://www.healthylakes.org/). Over the past year, Jordan has been criss-crossing the region conducting community listening sessions throughout the Ohio River watershed to discuss clean water priorities for a new plan to protect and restore the waters in the 14-state Ohio River region. The Ohio River Basin Alliance and National Wildlife Federation, cohosted these listening sessions to take advantage of a once-in-a-generation opportunity to craft a regional plan to restore and protect the waters of the Ohio River basin. The plan, once complete, will be delivered to Congress and the Biden Administration. The goal is for the federal government to implement the plan with new annual investments to address long-standing problems, such as sewage contamination, toxic pollution, inadequate water infrastructure, mine waste, run-off, flooding, and habitat loss. Every year the federal government invests in programs to protect and restore our nation's great waters – including the Chesapeake Bay, Puget Sound, Gulf Coast, and Great Lakes. We want to add the waters of the Ohio River basin to that list and to make sure that local clean water concerns are addressed and local solutions are prioritized in the clean water plan. In August, the report will finally be released and in late summer/early fall, there'll be opportunities for community engagement around the draft plan. A one-day river restoration tour with a Kentucky Legislative Delegation (Guthrie, McGarvey & Massie) is also being planned for August. One of the key local partners in this process has been the Kentucky Waterways Alliance, which will be hosting a 30th Anniversary Celebration on Friday, August 18th, starting at 6pm at Waterfront Botanical Gardens. Everyone is encouraged to join us in celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Kentucky Waterways Alliance with an unforgettable evening of music, film, food, and art! The celebration will include: •    A special performance by Louisville's own Joan Shelley. Joan, longtime friend of KWA, has assembled a honkytonk band to back her, as well as a series of guest vocalists. •    Following Joan's performance, we will transport you into the captivating world of environmental storytelling through our 15th annual Wild and Scenic Film Festival. This renowned festival showcases an array of short films that highlight the beauty of our planet's wild and scenic places, as well as the urgent need to protect them. •    In between - or during! - these aspects of the evening, you will be able to visit with Al Gorman, renowned artist who creates art from objects found in the Ohio River. •    Enjoy food from our sponsor Wiltshire Pantry, and West Sixth Brewing will be selling beer. Get your tickets now and come together with fellow supporters of the KWA as we honor three decades of conservation and advocacy. Let's raise our voices and toast to a brighter future for our precious waterways! Kentucky is water. Water is commonwealth. More info and tickets at http://kwalliance.org As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW! Sustainability Now! is hosted by Dr. Justin Mog and airs on Forward Radio, 106.5fm, WFMP-LP Louisville, every Monday at 6pm and repeats Tuesdays at 12am and 10am.

Hi everyone! Sarinah here! Coming to you live from my childhood bedroom visiting my mom following a beautiful trip down California along highway 395. This is my first ever Earth to Humans newsletter, so enjoy this maiden voyage as I try to re-connect with my early 2000's Wordpress days writing to the ether.My guest for this episode is an expert in natural resources management, a woman who's been on the front lines of one of the most crucial environmental issues facing us today. She's a problem-solver and policymaker, but above all, an advocate for our planet's most precious resource: water.Can Great Salt Lake survive us? Laura Briefer, the Director of Salt Lake City Public Utilities, has been working tirelessly to address the water crisis in Utah. She's been an integral figure in water policy for over two decades and has seen first-hand how the environment is shifting right in front of us. She is one of many stakeholders involved in preventing the disappearance of Great Salt Lake. A natural wonder that once stretched across nearly a quarter of the State of Utah (about 22,400 square miles), has been shrinking at an alarming rate. As of 2021, Great Salt Lake now spans a mere 950 square miles, revealing more of the lake bed with each major drought. Lake beds contain a variety of heavy metals in the sediment that, when lake levels recede, dry out and form toxic dust. These airborne dust particles not only affect human health, but also have devastating ecological implications. They can contaminate local ecosystems and have effects on air and water quality. Therefore, the issue of lake shrinkage is not only about the loss of water but also concerns the potential mobilization of hazardous substances that can impact both human health and the environment.Through Laura's eyes, we'll explore what's happening to the Great Salt Lake, why it matters, and most importantly, what is being done about it. Laura Briefer brings a wealth of knowledge and a passion for sustainability to this issue. We're thrilled to have her this episode of the Earth to Humans Podcast. We love to hear your feedback, so have a listen and let us know what you think about the show!An update from meAs I mentioned, I'm Sarinah, one of the producers and hosts behind the show and I'm super excited to be building this community with all of you and connecting on a deeper level. I work in a variety of creative and environmental spaces, from nature videography, photography and artwork, to wildlife surveying and field captures.Lately though, I've been getting SUPER into block printing and linocutting. I started small, carving out tiny scenes into pink Pearl erasers, but am now moving onto larger rubber blocks so I can work in more detail. Something about the carving blade smoothly gliding over the stiffness of the rubber unlocked something in my brain launching me into a simultaneously soothing and instantly addicting new venture. Earlier this year I represented two films that I produced and directed at the 2023 Wild and Scenic Film Festival in Nevada City, CA, where I got to connect with some truly inspirational fellow filmmakers and re-ignite my passion for good storytelling. I also got to represent Earth to Humans in the March issue of Diversity in Action Magazine where I was interviewed about what makes our podcast so unique and how the show has evolved and grown alongside our growing decolonized mindset around conservation and the environment. After a long winter in the Sierra Nevada, I'm excited to finally get outside and go hiking and fishing and disappear into the woods for a while. I'm so grateful for Hannah and Matt and this amazing team and community that we've built together. Especially with the weight of all of the world's current issues, its so healing to be able to fight alongside these two as well as you, our listeners, and do what we can to enjoy this beautiful planet and try to make it a better place for all of its inhabitants. Let's keep fighting and do our part to make sure the Earth's voice is heard,Sarinah This is a public episode.

This episode is part of a series put together by Cleo Woelfle-Erskine and July Hazard to ask “what is queer ecology?” of climate scientists, ecologists, choreographers, poets, and creatives who each share unique perspectives on how queer and trans identities can and do play important roles in shifting the way we think about the sciences and our relations with the more-than-human. This project is part of Woelfle-Erskine and Hazard’s 2019-2020 Centrum Northwest Heritage residencies, made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts. In Part 1, Michelle Hagewood sits down with these creative folks to learn more about what brought them to this work, what it means to them, and what the past couple of years have looked like in their work, play, and pandemic-affected lives. We learn a bit of what we have to look forward to in the interviews that will follow. Cleo Woelfle-Erskine is a Seattle-based artist-scholar whose work includes photography, video, street theater, and scientific investigation as participatory performance. Cleo’s scientific collaborations with tribes and grassroots groups investigate projects to restore rivers and coastal zones to benefit salmon and recharge groundwater to adapt to changing climates, and have been funded by the Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center and the National Science Foundation. Cleo is the author, most recently, of “Fishy Pleasures: Unsettling fish hatching and fish catching on Pacific frontiers” (Imaginations 2019) and the forthcoming monograph Underflows: Transfiguring Rivers, Queering Ecology (UW Press). July Hazard is a poet from Kentucky who’s currently in Seattle, with parts left behind in a long list of cities, rivers, and truck stops on the way. July’s current research investigates the altered shorelines of the Black and Duwamish rivers, the assembly of poetic voice under the guidance of animals, and the forest relations of trans and queer youth in rural Appalachia. July teaches in the University of Washington’s Comparative History of Ideas Department and Program on the Environment. Together, they collaborate with other artists, scientists, and activists to investigate hidden flows and suppressed ways of being, and to evoke new relations among people and the more-than-human world. Often, these collaborations form uprisings of an ever-shifting art & science collective called the Water Underground. Their shared work has been seen at venues ranging from derelict rail yards and street protests to museums and science conferences—including SomARTS, CounterPulse, the Crocker Museum, and the Henry Art Gallery, the Wild and Scenic Film Festival, and the San Francisco Transgender Film Festival, the Bay Delta Science Conference, on Sproul Plaza during Occupy Berkeley, and wheat-pasted around Oakland, California. Their performance installation “Tell A Salmon Your Troubles” won the inaugural Making and Doing Prize at the 2015 Society for the Social

We’re eight days away from President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, and Democratic House members have submitted an article of impeachment against President Trump for “inciting violence against the Government of the United States.” The President could make history as the first to be impeached twice; we’ll explore the implications of the impeachment and California’s role in the process. Plus, after many took to the streets to protest police violence last year, we take a look at how the Black Lives Matter movement has evolved and what to expect in 2021.

The Wild and Scenic Film Festival is one of the most treasured celebrations of conservation in the outdoor active lifestyle markets. The organization literally inspires activism through film, and the 2016 traveling film festival kicks off on Earth Day in San Francisco. What a fitting venue for the global premiere of KEEN Footwear's Live Monumental documentary film. I have the privilege of interviewing Wild and Scenic's Melinda Booth and KEEN Footwear's Kirsten Blackburn in this very special episode of The Intrepid Entrepreneur podcast. Listen in and learn how both of these amazing organizations use their reach and impact to affect awareness, activism and positive change.   The Live Monumental documentary chronicles KEEN's cross-country road trip advocating for the protection of 3-million acres of public lands – no small feat. KEEN and Wild and Scenic invite all of us in to become part of the movement to protect America's precious public lands – there's a lot of awareness and action that must happen before President Obama leaves office this year. Get outside and enjoy our public lands and get your family and friends to do the same! You can't believe in and protect something you haven't experienced, as Kirsten Blackburn of KEEN says in this podcast.
