This event pays homage to the ancient indigenous tradition of Día de Muertos, a celebration of life, love, and healing that predates colonization.

Join us for an enchanting evening filled with the warm glow of luminarias, each flickering light a symbol of remembrance for those who have departed. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Mexican culture with traditional dances and traditional music, and the presence of guest artists who will weave their artistry into the fabric of this special occasion.

Witness the captivating allure of catrinas and explore the ofrenda, a sacred altar adorned with offerings and memories of our beloved deceased. This free, family-friendly event is open to all, embracing the community in a spirit of togetherness and understanding. Rain or shine, we come together to honor the legacy of Dia de Muertos and create cherished memories that bridge the past with the present.

Don't Look Up Screening
Aug
13

Don't Look Up Screening

This Saturday evening, local environmental and EJ orgs are co-sponsoring an outdoor nighttime showing of the award-winning, star-studded, simultaneously hilarious and terrifying film "Don't Look Up," a fictional cultural commentary about humanity's seeming inability to tackle the climate crisis---even when our very existence is so clearly at stake. It examines and indicts the institutions, economic system, and resulting culture that perpetuates ignorance in service of the dangerous status quo in a time of absolute crisis. Washington Environmental Council, LULAC, Columbia Riverkeeper, Sunrise SWWA, United Universalist Church of Vancouver, Vancouver Free Fridge Project, Declare Emergency!, and Citizens' Climate Lobby are all co-sponsors. We hope you'll join us!

This will be in conjunction with a community conversation about solutions to the climate crisis and what can be accomplished in Vancouver/Clark County (hint: there is A LOT), followed by a series of calls-to-action for everyone in attendance. Special guest speaker will be Rebecca Small, Senior Policy Analys for the City of Vancouver, and one of the individuals writing the Climate Action Plan. Bring your own blanket, chair, snacks, and drinks (food and drinks will be available for purchase on site) and get ready to be informed, entertained, and inspired to become an integral part in creating a better world!

*Restrooms will be available*

Note: This film is Rated R for language throughout, some sexual content, graphic nudity and drug content which means it may not be suitable for kids under 17.

We hope to see you!

Date: August 13th

Time: 6 - 10 p.m.

Location: Unitarian Universalist Church at 4505 E 18th St, Vancouver, WA 98661
