The constant battles over uncertain water supplies and the impacts of moneyed interests will be the topic of an online Community Forum on Friday Sept.16 at 7 p.m. via Zoom.

The discussion will be based on the documentary film "River's End: California's Latest Water War," which explores the state's complex struggle over who gets fresh water and, according to the film's website, how well-heeled interests game the system. The film warns that fighting over limited water supplies heralds an impending crisis, not only in California but around the world.

Registrants for the forum will receive a link to a free viewing of "River's End" in advance of the discussion. The film urges viewers to learn where their water comes from so they can support actions to save rivers, ecosystems and communities that depend upon them.

Panelists for the event will be Lynn Rodriguez, Project Manager with the Watersheds Coalition of Ventura County; Caty Wagner, Southern California Water Organizer with the Sierra Club; and Jennifer Molidor, Senior Food Campaigner with the Center for Biological Diversity.

Topics will include California's Delta Tunnel project, impacts of animal agriculture and industrial farming, local water concerns and projects, and what we all can do.

The event is organized by Chalice Community Forum, a program of Chalice Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Conejo Valley, and is co-sponsored by the Conejo Climate Coalition and the Chalice Climate Action team.
