Do citizens have a right to a safe environment? Does the government have an obligation to protect the environment? If so, where does that responsibility reside - at the national or the state level? Where is the environmental movement today, and what role will it play in the presidential election of 2008? Examining these questions are speakers Steve Fleischli of Waterkeeper Alliance, Reverend Patricia Ackerman of Fellowship of Reconciliation, and Richard Perez of the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center. Anthony Pereira of altPOWER moderates. This event was held at The New School
