SUMMARY:"Free Speech\, Right Speech & the Protection of Our Planet" at Sustainable Tucson meeting
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\nFree Speech\, Right Speech\, and the Protection of Our Planet\n\n\n\nTuesday\, May 12\, 6:00 pmZoom: <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85728582913?pwd=ZzA8oG8gyF3rn6hNUkIyU9be3Xk3Mk.1>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“It would be hard to identify an issue more pressing than the preservation of our precious planet. To complicate things\, there is a gnawing sense that we are running out of time and the task is now impossible. The First Amendment gives us wide berth to advocate for the survival of life on Earth. But is anger-fueled or sensational speech skillful and effective? What do our spiritual traditions\, including Buddhism\, have to say about “right speech”? And how might its tenets be employed to help us protect the planet — and keep our sanity? This talk by David Bodney aims to shed some light on these issues.\n\n\n\nOur Speaker:David J. Bodney serves as Senior Counsel at Ballard Spahr LLP\, where he practices media and constitutional law\, and teaches media law as a Professor of Practice at the College of Law at UA. A graduate of Yale College (B.A.\, ’76) and the University of Virginia (J.D./M.A.\, Foreign Affairs\, ’79)\, he served as a legislative aide to Sen. John V. Tunney (D – CA) and began his legal practice at Brown & Bain (now Perkins Coie) in Phoenix.\n\n\n\nHe served as editor and general counsel to New Times (1990-92)\, spent 22 years developing an international media law practice at Steptoe & Johnson LLP\, and founded the Media and Entertainment Law Group at Ballard Spahr in 2014. David was drawn to Arizona in substantial part to practice Indian law\, and he has represented one tribe on a wide array of issues\, including natural resources and water law\, for over 30 years\, a relationship that began through his partnership at Steptoe with Bruce Babbitt. His professional bio can be found at www.ballardspahr.com. In 2020\, David moved to Tucson\, where he continues to practice and teach—a move that has allowed him to deepen his 50-year practice of Zen Buddhism through Upaya Tucson\, an affiliate of the Upaya Zen Center of Santa Fe\, New Mexico.”
