Join Friends of the Eel River and our allies for solidarity gatherings on the second Monday of each month at Humbrews in Arcata from 5 - 7pm.

On June 8 we will be joined by Black Humboldt, the community-based, grassroots organization offering cultural, arts and educational programming to the Black and Brown communities of the Redwood Region of California. Learn about their upcoming Juneteenth event and participate in their "Honoring the past to seed the future" mini art project by creating a piece to be displayed at the event. Supplies will be provided, and all skill levels are welcome!

Additionally, Friends of the Eel River will provide updates on the latest Eel River news: The threat of a Southern California water grab. A water district 600 miles to the south claims to be interested in taking over the Potter Valley Project. This move, supported by the Trump administration, would remove local control and ownership of Eel River water supplies, endanger downstream residents, and upend the deal for regional support of Eel River dam removal. Join us to learn how to take action, stop the steal, and protect the Eel!

Join with community members to plan creative resistance to the Trump administration's destructive policies, learn about community initiatives, and take meaningful action to protect the people, creatures, and values we all hold dear.

Humbrews is generously donating a portion of sales during the event, so please bring your family out to have dinner and drinks and join the movement to support what our community cares about. Every month features a raffle, a variety of engaging activities, and opportunities to both learn about local organizing efforts and share your own community projects.

Organizations that are interested in partnering on future events, please contact Kanan at foer@eelriver.org.
