SUMMARY:July Green Drinks: Fire and Flood film screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for July Green Drinks for a Sneak-Peek Screening of Fire and Flood: Queer Resilience in the Era of Climate Change. Queer Ecojustice Project and their fiscal host Out For Sustainability are sharing the draft sneak-peek screening of the Fire & Flood Film to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ vulnerability to climate change\, encourage conversations on resilience preparedness\, and to fundraise for the completion of the project. \nThis film tells the story of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and the fires in Santa Rosa\, California\, two-near simultaneous climate-related disasters in the fall of 2017\, through the voices of LGBTQ people who lived through them and were part of the community response. \nYou can expect a powerful and engaging 104-min storyline full of brilliant\, insightful interviews with over 20 queer and trans people recounting their stories of disaster and resilience. \nWe will be offering two screenings. One with alternating English-Spanish captions for bilingual audiences\, and one with English-only captions for the hearing impaired (provided by the Scottish Queer International Film Festival). \nThis draft film is not yet rated. It contains some complex themes\, discussion of potentially triggering incidents\, and infrequent mature language. It is recommended for adult audiences or for young adult audiences who have access to adult mentors for discussion and processing. Watch the Trailer. \nTEC will collect voluntary donations for this event\, and are providing a sliding scale that will not turn people away for lack of funds. We hope you can join us! \n\n\n\n\nGet tickets here!

SUMMARY:The West is Burning Film Screening - La Pine
DESCRIPTION:Discover Your Forest\, in partnership with the Deschutes National Forest and the Upper Deschutes River Communities\, is hosting a public screening of The West is Burning followed by a panel discussion with specialists in land management\, forest/fire ecology\, fire management\, and adaptive communities. \nThe free community event will be held at the La Pine Activity Center\, 16450 Victory Way\, La Pine on Thursday\, October 5th. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. with dinner and childcare beginning at 6:00 p.m. \nThe West is Burning examines the history of forest management and social conflict that has contributed to current forest conditions\, causing longer fire seasons and unprecedented impacts. The film emphasizes the need to act now to generate positive change in our forests\, watersheds\, and communities. Six real-life perspectives drive the film’s narrative to help raise awareness about the conditions of forests in the western U.S. Their stories demonstrate the need to embrace a new era of forest stewardship\, and the unique partnerships that are being built across community-based organizations\, government entities\, and private and non-governmental organizations. These thought leaders highlight the need for a unified response to climate change\, land use\, and forest restoration\, and emphasize the importance of community-based solutions to these challenges. \nRepresentatives from local forestry and fire organizations will host tables and share information on wildfire preparedness before and after the event. \nThis is a free event with dinner and childcare provided. For more information contact Discover Your Forest’s Wildland Fire Education Coordinator\, Emily Curtis\, at emily.curtis@discovernw.org. \n\nAny donations received through this form will go towards Discover Your Forest’s wildland fire and forest restoration public outreach and education programs. \nGet tickets here!
