9/27-28: UN Foundation & Mashable’s Social Good Summit (NYC)
(featuring Charlize Theron & Sienna Miller)

‘When it comes to climate change, why do we do so little when we know so much?’

Through a relentless investigation to find the answer, Disruption takes an unflinching look at the devastating consequences of our inaction.

The exploration lays bare the terrifying science, the shattered political process, the unrelenting industry special interests and the civic stasis that have brought us to this social, moral and ecological crossroads. The film also takes us behind-the-scenes, showing efforts to organize the largest climate rally in the history of the planet during the UN world climate summit.

This is the story of our unique moment in history. We are living through an age of tipping points and rapid social and planetary change. We’re the first generation to feel the impacts of climate disruption, and the last generation that can do something about it. The film enlarges the issue beyond climate impacts and makes a compelling call for bold action that is strong enough to tip the balance to build a clean energy future.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with Cecil Corbin-Mark, the Deputy Director of Policy Initiatives at WE ACT for Environmental Justice, Inc and Kendra Glover, Program Manager of the NAACP General Counsel.

RSVP now and join us for this special screening of Disruption: Climate. Change.

Event Details: Thursday, September 25th | Doors Open at 6:30 PM | Film at 7:00 PM at New Organizing Institute, 1133 19th Street NW, Suite 850, Washington D.C. 20036

There will be a suggested donation of $10 at the door to help cover the costs of showing this film.

• 9:00am Tuesday, 9/23
  The Wilson Building - DC City Hall, 1350 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC,

The DC Council is back in session on Tuesday, September 23 -- it's time for them to act on climate!

Join DC residents for a rally in front of City Hall to ask the Council to take action on key legislation that could make DC a national leader on local climate solutions.

The DC Council is currently considering two bills that would help move our city away from dirty energy sources and send a signal that DC is a leader in addressing environmental injustice, degradation and climate change. 

We are asking the Council to pass the Fossil Fuel Divestment Act of 2013 [B20-0481], which would divest city pension and health annuity funds from fossil fuels, and the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard Amendment Act of 2013 [B20-418], which would close a loophole in DC’s Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard that funnels District funds to dirty energy. 

Help us send a signal, loud and clear, that DC can be a leader for the rest of the country on climate change and clean energy. 

Reverend Lennox Yearwood of the Hip Hop Caucus will speak at 9:00 am.
