From Paris to Pittsburgh: The Climate for Change is Now- Screening and Talk Back

  • Repair The World 2701 Bagley Street Detroit, MI, 48216 United States (map)

We invite you to join us for a film screening of Paris To Pittsburgh, followed by a community Q&A session with Kathryn Savoie.

Paris to Pittsburgh celebrates how Americans are demanding and developing real solutions in the face of climate change. And as the weather grows more deadly and destructive, they aren't waiting on Washington to act.

Kathryn Savoie is a veteran community organizer and has led a number of major health, human rights and environmental justice campaigns in the Detroit area over the past 20 years. She earned a master's degree and a Ph.D. in biology from the University of Michigan after receiving her bachelor's degree at Virginia Tech. She is active in the community gardening movement in Detroit, and is an authorized presenter of the Climate Reality Project, trained directly by former vice president Al Gore.

This event is presented in partnership by The Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue, Detroit Jews for Justice, and Repair the World Detroit.
