We will hear from water protectors and have the opportunity to ask questions\, consider futures\, and identify new opportunities for collaboration. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public via webinar. Registration required. \nREGISTER\nQuestions? Please reach out to allison@friendsoftheinyo.org. \n  \n  \nThe summit will continue to be an opportunity for tribal leaders\, community members\, and allies from across the Great Basin to share knowledge and work together to envision plans for collaborative water justice across this region. We look forward to being able to share more diverse perspectives and stories: if you have a topic you would like to present or are interested in learning more about in the 2026 series\, please let us know!
