Environmental Justice Team Film Screening
“An Inconvenient Sequel; Speak Truth to Power”
Thursday, October 26: 5pm at Storrs Library
First Church Environmental Justice team, Storrs Library, and Longmeadow Environmental Transition Group have joined forces to present Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Sequel, the follow-up to Al Gore’s blockbuster 2006 global warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth at Storrs Library on Thursday, October 19. Admission will be free and open to all.
The movie will start at 5pm. From 6:45–7:15pm the audience will participate in a live-streamed private webcast Q&A with Al Gore (only accessible to event participants).
Depending on the size and interest of the audience, there may be time for a second viewing of the film of 7:15pm.
This film’s message is a clear call-to-action. The problem with climate change is getting worse, critical tipping points are approaching, and time is running out. Come, bring a friend, and be inspired to act.
Join us at the Richard Salter Storrs Library, 693 Longmeadow Street. 413-565-4181 | http://www.longmeadowlibrary.org/
