Lead in our Water: Lessons from Flint to Massachusetts. Hosted by Tufts Institute of the Environment

[mem-winterhill.livejournal.com]

Two interesting tidbits I noticed in the last couple of days.

Public talk, Hosted by Tufts Institute of the Environment, co-sponsored by the Mystic River Watershed Association: https://www.facebook.com/events/1030573890321787/

Media coverage on the water crisis in Flint, Michigan has made us all aware of the devistation faced by residents of the area. This event brings together experts to discuss the events that have been occuring, not as a crisis for just Flint residents, but as a window into water issues in America and Massachusetts. What lessons can be learned from the Flint water crisis?

Event is FREE and open to the public.

Tuesday, April 12 at 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Room 104, Pearson Hall - 62 Talbot Ave, Somerville

Queer/Disabled Art Show OPEN CALL!

[lb-lee.livejournal.com]

Hey everybody, I'm involved in an art show for queer/trans disabled artists under the Boston LGBTQUIA Artists Alliance, and THE CALL FOR ART IS OPEN!

If you are queer or trans, have any kind of disability (chronic pain, chronic illness, mental illness, etc.) and you’re in the Boston area, you should totally submit to us.  It is going to be totally awesome!  If you have any accessibility problems with the website, or have any questions, let me know so I can let BLAA know.  If you are concerned whether you are "queer enough" or "disabled enough," the answer is yes, you are. (Though feel free to contact me via PM if you really want to make sure.)

Spread the word everybody!  Deadline is May 1st, 2016!  JOIN THE PARTY!
