Free Screening and Intergenerational Talkback Of The White House Effect
About this Event
It’s our 6th summer of record heat. Wildfires continue to burn. Blackouts continue to occur. To look to the future of climate solutions, we need to reckon with the past. Please join us for a special screening of the Emmy and Peabody-award winning film The White House Effect A riveting look at a key moment in the history of the climate crisis from award-winning directors Bonni Cohen, Pedro Kos and Jon Shenk that travels back in time to document how a crucial opportunity to take real action on global warming was not just squandered but deliberately undermined.
Post-screening, there will host an intergenerational talkback discussion with climate and environmental justice advocates Ayanna-Grace King (The Urban Lorax), Boratha Tan (Vote Solar), Ela Khasnabis Upton (University of Michigan), Janice D. Hazel (Low-Income Solar Council) and Robert Shobe (Justice for Beniteau). We’ll reflect on wisdom from past struggles and what we need to do in this current moment. The panel will be moderated by White House Effect’s Impact Producer and ’s Campaigns Manager Candice Fortin.
