Please join ResistanceUS at a demonstration in Auburn on February 24 from 8:30-9:30 am and again from 2:45-3:30 pm. Those are the times that we are protesting outside of the event. Here are the details of the event itself. MCWRA Regional Water Symposium - The New Trump Administration – A View from the Top Date: Friday, February 24, 2017 Time: 9:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Doors Open at 8:45 a.m. Location: The Ridge Golf Course and Event Center, 2020 Golf Course Rd, Auburn, CA 95602 This event requires tickets to gain entry. ResistanceUS will be demonstrating at the entrance to the event in the morning as people enter from 8:30-9:30, and in the afternoon as people leave from 2:45-3:30. Google maps seems to indicate plenty of sidewalk space. As the event is hosted by MCWRA, an environmental theme is appropriate, especially as it relates to water--DAPL, dam removal, Centennial Dam, etc. Here is a description from the MCWRA website: -- At MCWRA’s first regional event of 2017, meet Federal and State representatives in person and hear their views on the new Trump Administration on regional water interests. In the afternoon, we have put together a regional panel of top managers to provide their views. Panelists will also discuss challenges and opportunities and how to work with our state and federal partners to enhance local and regional interests in the mountain counties region. -- Please join us in a civil demonstration of our views on the new Trump administration! We are taking a cue from David Frum's article in the Atlantic, "How to Beat Trump". * The more conservative protests are, the more radical they are. * You want to scare Trump? Be orderly, polite. Here is who will be in attendance: United States Congressman Doug LaMalfa United States Congressman Tom McClintock California State Senator Tom Berryhill California State Senator Ted Gaines California State Senator Jim Nielsen California State Assembly Member Kevin Kiley Afternoon Water Manager Panel 1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Shannon Cotulla, Assistant General Manager, South Tahoe Public Utility District Einar Maisch, General Manager, Placer County Water Agency Ken Payne, Interim General Manager, El Dorado County Water Agency Marcus Yasutake, Environmental and Water Resources Director, City of Folsom
