Wenonah Hauter is the founder and Executive Director of Food & Water Watch. She has worked extensively on food, water, energy, and environmental issues at the national, state, and local level. Her new book, Frackopoly: The Battle for the Future of Energy and the Environment, shines a fresh light on the influence the oil and gas industry has in politics today and chronicles the political power generated by an exciting grassroots movement that is fighting to ban fracking, keep fossil fuels in the ground, and help take back our democracy.
After discussing Frackopoly, Wenonah will be joined by a panel of local community members and experts to discuss the local fight against fossil fuel expansion and its impact on Philadelphia’s water.
