Actress Gloria Reuben Talks About Her 'Dirty Lie'

Gloria Reuben came by to talk about her partnership with the grassroots environmental organization Waterkeeper Alliance and their anti-coal campaign "The Dirty Lie."

According to the Waterkeeper Alliance, "the campaign’s goal is to create broader awareness of the destructiveness of coal—from its role in propping up an antiquated fossil-fuel-based economy to its adverse effects on the environment and the health of millions of Americans—and, ultimately, to bring about a change in national energy policy."

You can join the campaign's launch party tonight, Thursday, February 26 from 7pm to 10pm at The Greenhouse (150 Varick Street, between Vandam and Spring Streets). The event is expected to have screenings and feature a mini-documentary about a young mother and her son as they get tested for mercury poisoning.

Aside from her role on TNT's Raising the Bar, Reuben is perhaps most noted for her role on ER as Jeanie Boulet, a physician assistant in the hospital infected with HIV. It was this role led her to her HIV/AIDS activism.
