The 2004 Committee holds regular events open to all Sierra Club members.

Please check back. We are routinely adding new events to our schedule.

Literature drop in Chevoit and Norwood

For the past few months, a group of Miami Group activists took an urban hike through Cheviot and Norwood and other neighborhoods to pass out literature detailing local water and sewer problems and their connection with the Bush administration. At one of our earliest literature drops, 18 people came and delivered close to 2,000 flyers in under 2 hours. It was a great success and participants enjoyed sharing their experiences with each other over lunch after the literature drop was completed.
