The 4-month program starts in January with a 4-day training on the South Fork American River. It is a deep dive into California water politics and the grassroots skills you need to move the needle. The next 4 months are hands-on activism and organizing that build momentum for the Point Positive Palooza in May--a day of action give rivers a voice in a changing climate.
