Erin Brockovich set to speak in Winston-Salem

WINSTON-SALEM — International environmental activist Erin Brockovich will speak in Winston-Salem on June 29 about sustainability and the future of the Yadkin Hydroelectric Project, a press release said.

The Yadkin Riverkeeper and Wake Forest University are sponsoring the event, which is free and open to the public. The speech by Brockovich, which will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. at Brendle Recital Hall at Wake Forest University, will highlight her support for the local sustainability movement and the Yadkin River Trust, as well as her opposition to Alcoa's relicensing plans for the Yadkin Hydroelectric Project.

Brockovich was a legal clerk who, despite the lack of formal law school education, was instrumental in constructing a case against the Pacific Gas and Electric Company of California in 1993.

Space is limited and reservations are required by registering at www.yadkinriverkeeper.org/erinb. Contact 336-722-4949 with questions regarding ticket registration.
