September 20, 2021: A BURNING TESTAMENT TO CLIMATE COLLAPSE  —  Lucy Walker, Film Director, “Bring Your Own Brigade” (2021)

“Bring Your Own Brigade” (2021) – Following the aftermath of the 2018 Camp Fire, the deadliest fire in California’s history, British film maker Lucy Walker explores a question humanity can no longer afford to ignore in the midst of climate chaos: why are catastrophic wildfires increasing in number and severity around the world and what can be done about it?  Clips of this extraordinary, ground-breaking film will be shown throughout the conversation, as the American West burns in real time. Climate collapse is not about the future, it is right here, right now.

Bernadette Demientieff, Executive Director of the Gwich’in Steering Committee, will be discussing why Sacred Land Protection matters to Indigenous communities and how her community in Alaska is standing strong to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge –Coastal Plain and the Porcupine caribou herd from becoming an oil and gas reservation. She will explain why fossil fuel companies must not be allowed to drill for oil on indigenous lands and her courageous path to “keep it in the ground” in her home ground of Alaska.  “Our Identity is non negotiable. We will never sell our culture and our traditional lifestyle for any amount of money.” Bernadette says.
