Nonetheless, Los Angeles's city bureaucracy, and those of other local cities, is vast and it too has its corps of consultants and lobbyists who advocate for legislation and assist clients with projects. Among all local lobbying efforts, perhaps none are as numerous, intense, or contentious as those surrounding development. From variances, to general plan amendments, to planning commission hearings, and city council hearings, many developers would be lost without experts to guide them and, indeed, to advocate for them. WUF is pleased to bring together a panel to explain what lobbying is and is not in the Los Angeles area. They will discuss lobbyists' roles and legal limitations, the projects they work on, the influence that lobbyists have, and the limits of that influence. And they will address common refrains about favoritism and the elevation of "special interests" over the common good. **Panelists** **Tanner Blackman,** Partner, Kindel Gagan Public Affairs Advocacy **Aaron Green**, President, The Afriat Consulting Group **Marc Mitchell,** Vice President, Local Government, Cerrell Associates **Jeff Seymour,** Principal, Seymour Consulting Group **Moderator** **Ed Reyes,** Retired Councilmember, Planner **The Olympic Collection** 11301 Olympic Boulevard Los Angeles, CA 90064 7:15am Registration 7:30am Breakfast 7:45am Panel Discussion **Registration Fees** $40 members $55 nonmembers $10 student members $15 student nonmembers Pre-registration closes on Wednesday, May 17, 2017.

FOLAR’s annual CleanUp has exploded in recent years, shattering records for volunteer turnout and trash collected, and is the largest urban river cleanup in America. The 2016 CleanUp attracted 9,000 volunteers—individuals and groups—who removed over 70 tons of trash from the LA River at more than a dozen sites. The 2017 CleanUp will be held at 14 sites along the entire length of the LA River on the last three Saturdays of Earth Month (April 15th, 22nd, and 29th) 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.

The range of volunteer groups, along with the 1000s of individuals, demonstrates the ubiquitous interest in and passion for the LA River. Volunteer groups range from scout troops, utilities, and entertainment, to religious organizations, labor unions, and a bevy of non-profits. “The Great LA River CleanUp is *the* defining event on the LA River. It’s become the largest urban river cleanup in America; last year had 9,000 volunteers who picked up 70 tons of trash,” states Marissa Christiansen, FOLAR’s Executive Director. “When Angelenos get involved with their River, they often start at our CleanUp.” “Each area of the Los Angeles River is unique and requires special attention and appreciation,” says Lewis MacAdams, FOLAR’s Founder. The CleanUp focuses primarily on the soft-bottomed and green sections of the LA River which are, in themselves, incredibly diverse. The sites range from the bucolic Sepulveda Basin in the San Fernando Valley to the Golden Shore Marine Reserve in Long Beach, where dolphins and seals are a common sight.![](https://gallery.mailchimp.com/4ff908c1d6f58f4a8f21e8cd9/images/4ef2479c-bc95-4402-8d9f-95ac6267f71a.jpg) The CleanUp takes place at the following 14 handpicked sites along the 51-mile river, on the last three Saturdays of April, each day from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm: **April 15 - Upper River:** Bette Davis Picnic Area / Sepulveda Basin at Balboa Blvd / Tujunga Wash at Haines Canyon Channel **April 22 - Mid River:** Arroyo Seco Confluence / Bowtie Parcel at Fletcher Drive / The Frog Spot / Los Feliz Blvd / Marsh Street Nature Park / Steelhead Park / Sunnynook Footbridge **April 29 - Lower River:** Compton Creek at Artesia Metro Station / Compton Creek at Del Amo Metro Station/ Golden Shore Marine Reserve / Willow Street Estuary In addition to the trash pick-up, volunteers will be entertained by popular local bands that come to the CleanUp to connect with the LA River community.

It brings to light the consequences of our global disposable lifestyle, along with realistic solutions to plastic pollution*. “Worldwide, we use an estimated 1 trillion plastic bags each year - nearly 2 million a minute - with the use time of a typical bag just 12 minutes.”* A Plastic Ocean is an epic global adventure following documentary filmmaker Craig Leeson and world record free-diver Tanya Streeter as they travel the earth, investigating how our addiction to plastic is impacting the food chain (*“The ocean is the world’s largest source of protein.”*) and how that is affecting every one of us through new and developing human health problems. “A Plastic Ocean” is filmed with beautiful and chilling detail, documenting the global effects of plastic pollution and introducing workable technology and policy solutions that can, if implemented, begin to change one of mankind’s most destructive inventions. “The most important film of our time,” states Sir David Attenborough. “Young people – they care. They know that this is the world they will grow up in. The evening will include a reception at 6:00pm, screening at 7:00p, and a panel discussion and Q&A from 8:30pm-9:30pm.
