# Our Movement Starts Here
WITH SPEAKER: Bill Kearney, Director & Board Chair
Warren County Environmental Action Team| “Our Movement Starts Here” is an 82-minute feature length documentary chronicling the birth of the environmental justice movement in 1982 which was sparked by the fight of a rural, majority-Black community in Warren County, North Carolina, against a toxic PCB landfill.
| The documentary combines contemporary interviews with original protesters and newer activists to highlight how the movement continues to inspire efforts against environmental inequities, climate injustices and systemic marginalization that disproportionately affect communities of color. Younger activists are learning from their elders about the environmental movements, and how they are locally rooted yet internationally influential. |

Knight-Brown Preserve Slow Hike
Knight Brown Nature Reserve, 221 Waterfield Ln, Stokesdale, NC, USJoin us on a slow, contemplative hike in the Piedmont Land Conservancy's Knight-Brown Preserve. Our founder, John Muir, disliked the term “hike,” and we will take time to enjoy the trail and let the river and forest speak to us. We will take time to breathe, walk mindfully, touch, listen, look, and heal. We will hike portions of the Poet's Walk, Running Pines, Fern, Leatherwood, Creekside, and Beechwood Bottom Trails. The length of the hike will be about two miles and will be moderate. You will need hiking footwear, rain gear, water, and snacks.
We will meet at 221 Waterfield Ln, Stokesdale, NC 27357. You can parallel park in the cul-de-sac at the end of Waterfield Lane or along the edges of the wide road.
We will have time for snacks after the hike at the trailhead picnic tables. Participants will need to sign the Sierra Club waiver.+8 attendees
