 The Relief Report ® EXTRA A newsletter covering regulatory reform efforts in Washington and across America, published by The National Center for Public Policy Research, 501 Capitol Court, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20002, 202/543-4110, Fax 202/543-5975, E-mail [email protected] Web http://www.nationalcenter.org |
The Environmental Grantmakers Association (EGA), an umbrella of
several hundred foundation and corporate givers to the environmental
movement, will hold a closed-door meeting February 3-4. Through
these meetings environmental grantmakers help set the agenda of
the environmental movement. As Mother Jones noted: "By deciding
which organizations get money, the grant-makers help set the agenda
of the environmental movement and influence the programs and strategies
that activists carry out." Though these meetings are normally
held under cloak of secrecy, the Relief Report has obtained a
copy of the EGA's agenda. Speakers include: Representative Sherwood
Boehlert (R-NY), EPA Administrator Carol Browner, Michael Bean
of the Environmental Defense Fund and Deb Callahan of the League
of Conservation Voters. No one representing the property rights,
sound science or free market environmental views is on the agenda.
There will also be presentations on how the environmental movement
can expand its base among the African-American and evangelical
communities. Those interested in learning more about the EGA or
in wrangling an invitation to attend are advised to contact the
Rockefeller Family Fund, 212/373-4252. The Relief Report wishes
to thank EPA Administrator Browner's office for providing the
EGA contact information.
