Photos and story by James Hill
Oregon Secretary of State Bill Bradbury will appear at Portland Community College to give the Oregon perspective to Al Gore’s Academy Award-winning documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.”
Bradbury will present at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 5 in the Performing Arts Center at the Sylvania Campus, 12000 S.W. 49th Ave. His presentation will include a slide show and a question-and-answer session with the audience. This event is free and open to the public. Space is limited and attendance is on a first-come, first-served basis. Parking is free after 6:30 p.m.
Oregon’s Secretary of State has recently completed a rigorous training program led by the former Vice President to spread the message about the threat of, and solutions to, global warming. Bradbury was part of a select group that took part in an intensive tutorial about issues surrounding global warming, led by Gore and a team of renowned scientists and environmental educators. Bradbury, as the state’s second-highest-ranking constitutional officer, is auditor of public accounts, chief elections officer, and manager of the state’s corporate filings and official legislative and executive records.
“Bill Bradbury is an outstanding example of the millions of Americans who have been energized by the call to action on the climate crisis,” said Gore. “We are so pleased that he has made a serious commitment to this challenge by coming to Nashville to become part of this unprecedented grassroots effort.
“Bill will be spending the next year making presentations in and around Oregon discussing how individuals and businesses, schools, and other organizations can be a major part of the solution to the growing crisis of global warming,” he added.
