June 28 - Educational Opportunity  
 

















 A new award-winning film, The Condor and the Eagle is available for viewing online on Sunday, June 28, sponsored by Interfaith Power and Light.  This film highlights the work of Indigenous environmental leaders in the Americas as they battle to safeguard their communities from the impact of fossil fuel development. The film includes a post-viewing webinar with some of the advocates featured in the film. This event is an  opportunity to learn about the disproportionate impact of our use of fossil fuels on Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities who are suffering from the pollution caused by these sources of energy and to understand the intersection of climate justice, racial justice and poverty.
