Truth & Reckoning - Susan VonderHaar

Supporting CELDF at celdf.org/ allows us to support others.
Susan VonderHaar, biologist, educator, activist, and former Project Scientist and Site Manager at the U.S. EPA for 20 years shares her Truth & Reckoning testimony on the Regulatory System Failure to Protect Water and People: An Advocate's Journey from Academic to Activist.
Law and culture. Culture and law. Which comes first, and how are they related? CELDF and partners hosted Part 1 - Truth, Reckoning, and Right Relationship with the Great Lakes in the fall of 2023 to wrestle with these very questions.
Those in attendance heard a range of truths from doctors, lawyers, indigenous activists, educators, students, religious practitioners, artists, environmental regulators, and community activists - young and old - along with their personal reckonings and the collective challenges that face us all in the current state of the ill-health of the Great Lakes and the world at large.
We now want to share these powerful testimonies with everyone as we prepare for Part 2 Right Relationship in April 2024. Grounding ourselves in honesty to move away from systems and legal structures that do not protect Nature, including ourselves, allows us to move towards a new system grounded in right relationship with water, Nature and ourselves.
CELDF will be releasing each testimony from the event so you can share them and use them to help others reflect in your community.
