Persisterhood to focus on environmental issues at April 24 meeting

By NewsPress Now

“Taking Grassroots Green Earth Actions” will be the focus of Persisterhood’s Wednesday, April 24, meeting.

The group will gather at 6 p.m. in the Rolling Hills Upper Story Community Room, 1904 N. Belt Highway. Members of SEAC, the City’s Sustainable Environment Advisory Committee headed by Environmental Activist Diane Waddell, will describe “green” projects underway in the city. As part of SEAC’s “Reuse REvolution!” to reduce plastics, those attending will receive a reusable SEAC bag.

Pam May, Democratic candidate for the 6th District Congressional seat, also will speak, and registered voters in Missouri will have a final opportunity to sign the petition to allow citizens to decide whether to make abortion legal again in the state.
