Friends of the Everglades Continues its Decades-Long-Fight for Environmental Justice

WQCS

This week on In Focus, we sit down with Eve Samples of Friends of the Everglades, a local advocacy group with a deep history of fighting for the Everglades and its continued health. Together, we talk about the group's current pursuits and the ongoing challenges the ecosystem faces, as well as the Marjory Stoneman Douglas and her story.

On May 6, the Friends will screen a new award-winning documentary River of Grass, which charts Douglas' story and the history of the Everglades itself.
