Join us on Friday, April 9th from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm for a film screening and discussion of David Suzuki’s Rebellion. Please register at the link in the description. Sparked by activist Greta Thunberg in Sweden and exploding around the world, the global climate protests have been some of the largest demonstrations in history. Rebellion, a documentary from The Nature of Things, is a vivid portrait of this extraordinary grassroots movement. Rebellion takes us from a sea of protestors in Montreal to the Capitol in Washington, D.C., and from the Bank of England’s boardrooms to the slums of New Delhi, in a dramatic and compelling journey that asks, where do we go from here in the fight for a livable planet? Aliénor (Allie) Rougeot has been a human rights advocate since a very young age, focusing on climate justice since high school. She co-founded the group Fridays for Future Toronto and, with her co-organizers, she led the large youth climate strikes in 2019. She is a public speaker and workshop leader, using these opportunities to raise awareness on the urgency of the climate crisis, discuss the solutions that are available to us as a society and empower others to join the fight. She studies Economics and Public Policy at University of Toronto. We look forward to welcoming her in guiding a meaningful discussion at this event. See you there!
