As we prepare to celebrate Earth Week at #SaintJoesMaine, we're excited to announce that we will be hosting renowned author Frances Moore Lappé on Tuesday, April 19th. This exciting discussion - Climate Crisis In Focus: Finding Hope Through Democratic Action - is sponsored by the Center for Sustainable Communities and he Center for Faith and Spirituality.
Lappé will discuss the reality that in America today, many of us can feel overwhelmed by the simultaneous political, economic, and climate crises upon us. She’ll discuss three interacting roots of our problems: a brutal form of capitalism, big money's grip on our democracy, and climate catastrophe. She shows us how realizing their unity can be empowering, not overwhelming. They open historic opportunity. By addressing one crisis, we are working to solve all three. Through inspiring stories and startling facts, Frances helps us realize our own power to generate a new story as we tackle these root causes with exhilarating, courageous action—together.
This presentation will be followed by a book signing. Visit the link in bio for full details.
