SUMMARY:The Language of Climate Politics in the 2024 Election
DESCRIPTION:FREE and Open to The Public for Climate Week NYC! \nHow should we talk about climate change in the crucible of the 2024 elections? How are the Republican and Democratic candidates for President talking about climate science\, economics\, technology\, and politics — and what can we learn from the ways their rhetoric and their policies are being covered\, or not covered\, in the press? \nJoin Genevieve Guenther\, author of The Language of Climate Politics: Fossil-Fuel Propaganda and How to Fight It\, along with Kendra Pierre-Louis\, Bill Mckibben\, and Amy Westervelt in an exciting Climate Week NYC discussion of these urgent questions. \nPanelists\nGenevieve Guenther is Affiliate Faculty at The New School\, the Founding Director of End Climate Silence\, a climate news-media advocacy group\, and the author of The Language of Climate Politics: Fossil Fuel Propaganda and How to Fight It.

People who care about the future will cherish this smart volume\, which will turn them into far more effective advocates; it is a genuine gift to the world.”\n—Bill McKibben\, author of The End of Nature \n“This is a brave\, compelling\, and necessary book. Guenther blasts away the most persistent myths of the climate crisis…Guenther knows her subject and is a fabulous bullshit detector. Reading The Language of Climate Politics is an excellent way to arm yourself for the fight for a better future.”\n—Jeff Goodell\, author of the New York Times bestseller The Heat Will Kill You First \n“In this genius book\, Dr. Genevieve Guenther takes the whole overwhelming universe of fossil fuel propaganda and distills it to six key words and one key narrative\, exposing the rhetorical tricks used so effectively by the various powers obstructing climate action and thus ridding them of their power entirely.”\n—Amy Westervelt\, Investigative Climate Journalist\, Founder\, Drilled Media \n“The primary obstacle to tackling the climate crisis is political\, not technological. And the political battle has become a war of words. In this important book\, Genevieve Guenther navigates the battlefield with insight and wit\, expertly elucidating the ways in which the modern climate discourse has been polluted by bad actors with an agenda of business-as-usual dependence on fossil fuels.”\n—Michael E. Mann\, Presidential Distinguished Professor of Earth & Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania and author of Our Fragile Moment

SUMMARY:Cause Célèbre Productions Presents: Someone is Sending a Message
DESCRIPTION:Join Ethical NYC and Cause Celebre Productions for an unforgettable play with Broadway actors and Tony Award-winners including Roberta Wallach\, Penny Fuller\, and James Naughton! \nWritten by Susan Charlotte • Directed by Antony Marsellis \nSomeone is Sending a Message is based on a true story of persistence and hope in the face of adversity–a story that revolves around a courageous young man named Nick Springer. It’s also the story of a painter named Sheila\, a friend of Nick who is at a crossroads in her art and in her life. \nSuddenly she receives a phone call: What do you mean Nick is dead? \nThe same Nick she spoke with two weeks ago\, who she had known since he was 13. The same Nick who had contracted Meningitis at camp and\, despite quadruple amputations\, became a Paralympic Gold Medalist\, an international advocate for life\, survival\, vaccination\, and a national hero. Nick never let any obstacle get in his way\, but while swimming in a friend’s pool his heart gave out. \nSheila turns to Facebook to learn more about what happened\, where hundreds of people have shared messages. Strangely\, every time she tries to post her own\, words appear on her screen: ​ \nSomeone is sending a message. \nSo begins Sheila’s surrealistic journey\, so affected by Nick’s extraordinary life and unexpected death that she begins to face the obstacles in her own life\, make sense of its twists and turns\, and come to terms with the death of her brother\, who was also in his 30s. Sheila stares at the screen as feelings from her past appear alongside the messages from Nick’s friends\, the two worlds overlapping. Perhaps there is a message for her. \nSuddenly one appears: \nLife goes on. With or without you. You can either shut down or join in. \nIt’s from Nick! Sheila turns and faces her incomplete canvas\, and is able\, at last\, to add the final brushstrokes. \nTickets\n$25 – Click to Purchase on Eventbrite
