Ralph Nader
Don't Waste Your 20's!
Take on the Little Things & The Big Things
A featured seminar of the Provost's Graduate Social Impact Seminar Series
Tuesday, October 24
THH 101 @ 6PM
Honored by Time magazine as One of the 100 Most Influential Americans of the Twentieth Century, author, consumer advocate and presidential candidate for the Green Party, Ralph Nader, has devoted his life to giving ordinary people the tools they need to defend themselves against corporate negligence and government indifference. With a tireless, selfless dedication, he continues to expose and remedy the dangers that threaten a free and safe society. Laws he helped draft and pass include the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Meat and Poultry Inspection Rules, the Air and Water Pollution Control Laws and the Freedom of Information Act.
Nader delivers a message that is simple and compelling: "To go through life as a non-citizen would be to feel that there's nothing you can do, that nobody's listening, that you don't matter. But to be a citizen is to enjoy the deep satisfaction of seeing the prevention of pain, misery and injustice."
