Heading For Extinction

  • Silver Spring Library 900 Wayne Avenue Silver Spring, MD, 20910 United States (map)

The planet is in ecological crisis: we are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction. Scientists say what’s required to avoid the existential threat of climate and ecological collapse is rapid and unprecedented changes, not unlike the total mobilization carried out in response to World War II.

In this public talk, members of the global movement Extinction Rebellion will share the latest climate science on where our planet is heading, discuss some of the current psychology around climate change and ecological breakdown, and offer solutions that led previous social movements, like the U.S. civil rights movement, to success.

Everyone is welcome and there will be time to ask questions and discuss afterwards. Entry is free.
