Earth Day Edition - April 17, 2009 - Vol. 3. Issue 1

Welcome (and welcome back!) to Empowerment Works’ integrated (and extra) ‘Inspired’ Citizen Quarterly E-Journal and Blog!

After a catalytic launch of The Global Summit founding symposium 2008, and needed introspection of Winter, Empowerment Works is springing back into action - with your collaboration!

In this bountiful double season edition EW is proud to share new solutions, new Board of Director opportunities, new partnerships, and our first gallery event in the Artists in Action series: Humanity Uniting - Saturday, April 25, 2009!

Held at 5th Floor Gallery in LA’s Chinatown Art District, and organized by EW board member & photographer, Dana Arak, each piece in this multimedia exhibition has been created and donated by each artist to embody the theme “Humanity Uniting”.  In addition, we’ll share a mini-screening of 1 Giant Leap’s new production, “What about me?” - screen hosted by partner, Conscious River Media!

As you read this special edition of the Inspired Citizen, we invite you to make EW your Global Sustainability Think-Tank in Action!  Your voice matters!

And, if your inspiration is to support EW financially, tax-deductible donations are gratefully appreciated online, by mail or phone.

 With love, thanks, and a Happy Earth Day to all!

-Melanie St.James, Executive Director
