The Washington Informer BRIDGE invites the public to its free, ticketed Earth Day Creative Salon, which will take place from 6 PM to 9 PM on Thursday, April 25, at Hill Prince (1337 H St NE), a lively Black-owned neighborhood bar on the iconic H Street corridor.
Aligning with EARTHDAY.ORG’s 2024 initiative, this year’s Earth Day Creative Salon will tackle the critical issue of plastic waste under the theme “People vs. Plastics.” Christopher Bradshaw, Executive Director of Dreaming Out Loud Inc., will moderate an engaging discussion with local panelists at the forefront of combating plastic pollution. The dialogue will highlight their efforts and explore practical steps individuals and communities can take to make a meaningful impact.
Panelists:
-Alexis Dickerson, Senior Director of Community Conservation at the Potomac Conservancy
-Michele Roberts, National Coordinator of The Environmental Justice Health Alliance
-Richard Bird, Owner of Homecourt DC & DMV
Complimentary plant-based hors d’oeuvres will be prepared by Chekesha Rashad from Eatopian Eats. Live music will be provided by world-renowned DJ Underdog, and Black-owned Ten To One Rum will serve up signature cocktails.
Guests are encouraged to donate a suggested $10 to the Washington Informer Charities, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering and uplifting communities across the DMV region.
