We're grateful for the lessons shared by an environmental activist who spent over two years in a 200-foot redwood tree to stop logging.
The Unity Center of North Spokane gratefully helped share Julia Butterfly Hill's message of hope, empowerment, and respect for all life. Julia explained how activism can be utilized to connect people, rather than isolate them. Thank you to the dozens of people who joined us. All proceeds will help people impacted by fires on the Colville Reservation and in Spokane.
Julia is best known for living 738 days in a one-thousand-year-old redwood named Luna. Her sit-in began in 1997 and ended only after she negotiated an agreement with the Pacific Lumber Company. The agreement protected the 1,000-year-old tree and established a buffer zone around it. She told the crowd how she built strong relationships with opponents in order to negotiate the standoff.
Thank you for sharing your perspective with us! And thank you to all who supported the event. You've helped make a difference in your neighbors' lives.
