Hi Neighbors,

Several moms in Eastwoods met a couple weeks ago to talk about climate change with a new group called Mother Up! Parents Exchange for Change (dads welcome too). We have our next event planned:

Join us for a one-hour segment of Josh Fox's powerful film, Gasland 2, where we'll examine the dangers of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. As Joanna Macy implores, we we'll look straight at the tough stuff, so we can respond to the climate crisis in a deeply meaningful and committed way.

This film will also be a bridge for an August trip to Dimock, PA, an epicenter of fracking in the Marcellus Shale region. On that trip, Mother Up! families will bear witness to the impacts of fracking, meeting with families and individuals who face polluted waters and seized land.

This is a family event. Kids activities will be provided (best-suited for ages 4-12). For kids, we will screen some short films on youth taking action.

Pizza provided, so RSVP if you are able to maeve@350vt.org

Where: 350Vermont office, 255 S. Champlain St., Burlington
When: Mon July 25, 5:30-7:30pm
Who: Families with young children, but all are welcome

Best,
Maeve
