Earth Week 2025
2025-04-14 - 2025-04-19 | AL
Cahaba River Society will host daily volunteer opportunities April 21-26, 2025, in honor of Earth Week. This week-long event will promote a clean and healthy Cahaba River and engage a wider audience with the Cahaba River Society, the global anti-litter and recycling campaign, our partners, and sponsors.
We will lead volunteers along the channel, banks, and riparian forests of the Cahaba River and its tributaries to:

Remove litter and invasive species
Encourage native wildlife and vegetation
Mitigate erosion impacts along recreational trails
Advocate for a clean river and a healthy lifestyle

Each day, teams will patrol various river segments on foot or by canoe. Participants will learn about the Cahaba River, its unique standing as one of the most biodiverse rivers of its size in the country, and the challenges facing waterways throughout Alabama. They will also become familiar with organizations addressing these challenges and the sponsors that help these vital organizations accomplish their goals.
Contact Zachary Fitzgibbon to register for a cleanup.
Earth Week 2025 is a prime opportunity for partners and sponsors to join the worldwide push for clean waterways. Contact Wil Rainer to learn more about sponsoring Earth Week 2025.

In the first section, I will be talking about energetic hygiene practices.
Especially with COVID and all of the pandemic stress. Think of it like hand sanitizer for the spirit! I will cover two of my daily routines I do as a House Healer that anyone can do. We will cover psychic protection to start the day and cutting cords to finish the day.
Psychic protection puts up an energetic shield between you and others while cutting cords will regain the energy you have sent out throughout the day.
In the last part of the class, I will crank up the energy and bring my healing team in to minister to you. I will set the stage for the most beneficial energy you have ever felt, flooding your body with light and love.
We will finish with a restful Shavasana! You will leave clean and refreshed.

Why Privacy Matters: The Essential Lessons
2025-04-17 19:00 - 21:00 | Monday Night Brewing, 14 12th St S, Birmingham, AL, 35233, United States
*This is a DiscourseBHAM special event in partnership with Birmingham’s own Thank You Books.
A timely, no-nonsense talk from a leading privacy scholar about why privacy matters, why it’s essential for a fulfilling life, and practical ways you can protect yours—without throwing away your phone or laptop or sounding like you live in a bunker somewhere off the grid.
But isn’t privacy, like, basically dead already? Isn’t it a bit self-obsessed to think to think anyone cares that you bought a water bottle on Amazon or binged Stranger Things on Netflix? It’s not like we’re all going to just stop using devices… and if you’re not doing anything wrong then you should have nothing to hide, right?
We’ll untangle these things with clear, practical insights you can use to think and act intelligently about your privacy in the modern world.
*In partnership with Thank You Books, we’re celebrating the launch of the speaker’s new book On Privacy: 20 Lessons to Live By.
Everyone will receive:
✅ A free privacy slide for their laptop
✅ Punchy no-nonsense language to explain why your privacy matters
✅ Easy, real-world steps to better protect your data—without ditching your phone or laptop
✅ A signed copy of the book (if you want to buy one there)
Dr. Lawrence Cappello is an award-winning professor of U.S. legal & constitutional history at the University of Alabama. He is the author of None of Your Damn Business: Privacy in the United States from the Gilded Age to the Digital Age and the newly released On Privacy: Twenty Lessons to Live By. His work on the right to privacy has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, The Economist, The Hill, and other media outlets.
