UULMCA Announces Young Adult Water Justice Road Trip

June 12-20 is the 2nd Annual Water Justice Road Trip for Young Adults between ages 18 and 35. The itinerary includes 9 non-stop days of fun, insight and awesome scenery for a registration of only $395.  The Road Trip is a program of the Unitarian Universalist Legislative Ministry.

Stops include canoeing on Mono Lake, a trip up the Owens valley, camping in Yosemite, rafting through the Double Lickety Split on the Kern River.   Participants will hear tales from the Water Wars when Los Angeles sucked water from the eastern Sierra for its growing population; see the Ballona Wetlands Land Trust where people have been working to restore wetlands, learn about the history of the public trust doctrine and much more.

Over the course of the trip, young adult Unitarian Universalists will discover the spirit in justice work, make friends for life, learn an enormous amount and see some of the mountains that have inspired generations of California writers and artists.
