Erin Brockovich is the President of Brockovich Research & Consulting, a renowned Consumer Advocate and Environmental Activist, a public speaker, a published author, a media personality, and the founder of the Erin Brockovich Foundation, a nonprofit created to educate and empower communities in their fight for clean water. Erin is often best-known for spearheading the successful case against the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) of California in 1993 that resulted in the largest settlement ever paid in a direct-action lawsuit in U.S. history and served as inspiration for the Oscar-winning 2000 film starring Julia Roberts, Erin Brockovich. Erin joins Sophia on “Work in Progress” to discuss the numerous environmental projects that she’s involved in, her iconic PG&E case, the current global water crisis including water pollution, water scarcity, water policy in the US, and why there is such an urgent need for citizens to get involved in the fight for safe water…plus, so much more.
