I’m for it and I have at least that much aluminum income that I haven’t turned in, so I will pay you back.

Resending because I didn’t receive this (which I sent a short while ago). Sorry if it’s a dupe for you. —dawn

Okay, Greenies! We need an online vote to spend $50 for 150 tickets so EVERYONE interested—potentially all FUUSM members and friends—can watch this movie between August 2 and 4, and then participate in the webinar at 8 p.m. on August 5.  We have a handful of yeas. Any nays?  Answer by Tuesday at 7 p.m. Then, I’ll contact the organizers, pay for it (and seek reimbursement). Oh, and I’ll send out an announcement/invitation to the FUUSM list, too. And maybe we’d consider having a local discussion of the movie via Zoom on August 6 or after.  Just an idea.

I think we should do it. We can use the GSC pocket change fund.

The congregation package, assuming I read it correctly, was only $50 for up to 150 people.  That's why I suggested it, if anyone was actually interested in watching and participating.

$20 bucks to watch a film is wild.  I didn't see a price for a congregation package.  I can offer for free the Economics of Happiness.  We also have a library of documentaries we'd be happy to offer.  Annie

Would this be something we (as indiv. or Green Sanctuary) might want to chip in and purchase the congregation view (150 people) ticket?

Dear Dawn,
Our nation is faced with a kairos moment with the pandemic, economic downturn, racial injustice, and climate change overlapping to create a nationwide crisis. The book of Ephesians in the bible uses the word Kairos to mean an appointed time of revealing; an opportune moment when new ways of being can come forth. We are opening our eyes to the hard truth that the impact of these intersecting challenges weighs most heavily on black and brown communities, leading us to learn better ways to respond.
So join Interfaith Power & Light – at this right time – to view Come Hell or High Water: The Battle for Turkey Creek, an award winning film about the unjust impact of climate change on an historic black community, and attend an IPL webinar to learn ways we can practice being allies in the fight for safe and healthy black communities.
Click here to watch a preview and purchase a ticket for the film and webinar.
Come Hell or High Water: The Battle for Turkey Creek follows the painful but inspiring journey of Derrick Evans, a Boston teacher who moves home to coastal Mississippi when the graves of his ancestors are bulldozed to make way for the sprawling city of Gulfport. Over the course of a decade, Derrick and his neighbors stand up to powerful corporate interests and politicians and face ordeals that include Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil disaster in their struggle for self-determination and environmental justice.
“This powerful documentary illustrates a classic case of environmental injustice and exposes raw in-your-face Mississippi racial politics. Come Hell or High Water is a perfect lesson that we are not living in a post-racial era.”
Dr. Robert Bullard, “father of environmental justice”
Watch a preview and purchase your ticket to view this critically acclaimed film online August 2 through August 4 and attend the webinar.
The webinar will be at 5pm Pacific/8pm Eastern on August 5 with filmmaker Leah Mahan and Derrick Evans, the activist featured in the film. 
Moderated by Susan Stephenson, the conversation will center around the disproportionate impacts of climate change on black and brown communities. We’ll also hear updates on the fight to achieve environmental justice for Turkey Creek and learn measures we can all take through policy and direct action to create more just systems and healthier communities.
$20 for an individual ticket. You will receive the link to view the film and the password, plus access to the webinar.
$50 for a congregational screening ticket. You will receive a link for up to 150 members of your congregation to view the film for free and attend the webinar.
Click here to purchase. Funds will go to support climate justice for Turkey Creek and to reimburse the small independent film team.
May you and yours be well,
Sarah Paulos
