“Anxiety to Action: Truth, Courage, and Solutions for the Climate Crisis”
Thursday, November 12, 6-7:30pm
Zoom link TBD
Facilitated Discussion with pre-selected questions, and live Q&A
When climate change looms large, the pandemic has no definitive end in sight, racism and racial injustices continue to compound, and everything feels overwhelming, what do you do? How do you find your way to meaningful action? Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Katharine Wilkinson will join us virtually for a special conversation about their experiences and draw on insights from their new book, “All We Can Save: Truth, Courage, and Solutions for the Climate Crisis,“ a collection of essays by 60 women spanning backgrounds, approaches, and generations at the forefront of the climate movement.
