The League of Women Voters of Vermont, in partnership with Kellogg-Hubbard Library, presents the third program in its 2022-23 Lecture Series on The Impact of Climate Change on Vermont. This season we are looking at Climate Change's effect on personal, economic, and ecological levels, closing with action that has been taken and what we can do individually and as a community.

The next program on Wednesday, January 11 at 7:00 pm presents a panel discussion of Climate Change and Social Justice, moderated by Sen. Kesha Ram Hinsdale. Panelists include Kashka Orlow, advocate and private consultant, who participates on Vermont's Climate Council's Just Transitions subcommittee which addresses connections between social equity and climate issues; and Judy Dow, the executive director of Gedakina, a multigenerational organization that supports Indigenous youth, women and families across New England. Gedakina helps reclaim and preserve cultural traditions, such as gardening, basketry and beading.

The program will be hosted via Zoom and is open to the public. Attendance is free, but all guests must register at www.kellogghubbard.org/adult-programs.

The League of Women Voters of Vermont Lecture Series, in its seventh year, is designed to bring outstanding speakers to discuss contemporary issues related to democracy and social justice.
