YOUTH v GOV Film Screening

Join Virginia Interfaith Power & Light on April 21 at 6:30 p.m. for a free virtual screening of Youth v. Gov, an inspiring film of how 21 young Americans make a groundbreaking case to sue the U.S. government. The lawsuit asserts that America has willfully acted over six decades to create the climate crisis, thus endangering the youth’s constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property. If they succeed, they could change everything about how we view climate change. Register: https://vaipl.ourpowerbase.net/civicrm/event/register?id=189&reset=1

Did you know that Virginia Youth recently filed a lawsuit against the commonwealth? Along with the screening, we will have a panel discussion with plaintiffs from Virginia on the importance of intergenerational justice and what is being done for climate justice right now with the Build Back Better Act!
