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!
