Youth V Gov Film Screening

Friday • April 26 • 7:00 PM • 418 Project Theater • 155 River St. • Santa Cruz • wheelchair accessible • suggested donation $10-$20

Citizens Climate Lobby and SC Climate Action Network invite you to a screening of YOUTH v GOV, a powerful climate documentary, followed by up-to-the-minute info on the current status of the groundbreaking Juliana vs. United States case that rests on this question: Do we have a legal right to a safe climate?  

In 2015, Kelsey Juliana and 20 co-plaintiffs, aged 7 to 15 (now 15 to 26), filed a first-of-its-kind lawsuit against the U.S. government, a case continuing to this day, and igniting many others both in the U.S. and abroad.
Through a string of filings, motions, stays, amendments, briefs, extensions, petitions, and settlement talks their lawsuit progresses, but the heart and soul of this story are the young activists themselves, with their varied environmental plights, their growth, their talents and charisma. Hailing from across the country, the Juliana 21 encompass cultural, economic, racial, and geographic diversity, with many from marginalized communities. Their diversity speaks not only to the universal impacts of climate change, but to the inclusion required if we are to build a better, more just future together.

The film and the conversation that follows will explore the deep value of working collectively in the face of overwhelming odds to deliver a future that nurtures and invigorates us all. 

Please put April 26, doors open at 6:30 p.m. on your calendar!  And ask a friend or two to join you.
