Our Climate Crisis, Our Community:
A Kensington/Flatbush Conversation about

Climate, Community, and Creating Change
Friday, October 4th, 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

We are in the midst of a mass extinction event. Scientists say we are experiencing abrupt climate breakdown. We are all threatened by this unprecedented ecological crisis. 

"Our Climate Crisis, Our Community: A Kensington/Flatbush Conversation about Climate, Community, and Creating Change" will cover these topics and concerns:

• The latest climate science and its global justice context
• First person: What the climate crisis means for my family
• What do fires in the Amazon have to do with glacial retreat in Asia?
• Building community ties and resilience in Kensington/Flatbush
• What we can do together to change course.
  

Our neighbors and community organizers Kashif Hussain and Shahana Hanif will join Bhumika Muchhala and Richard McLachlan, climate activists with Extinction Rebellion Flatbush, for this important discussion about everybody's future on Friday, October 4th, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

The free event is open to all. It is co-sponsored by Pakistani American Youth Society and Extinction Rebellion Flatbush.
