Queer Climate Stories
Join Sustainable Selkirk and the Selkirk College Pride Club for a screening of Can't Stop Change, a film that functions as an organizing tool for fostering conversations about queer climate justice.
As Florida's violent legislation dominates headlines, LGBTQ2S+ communities are also on the frontlines of accelerating climate change. Can't Stop Change: Queer Climate Stories from the Florida Frontlines weaves interviews with 15 LGBTQ2S+ artists, organizers, and educators across Florida (and the new Florida diaspora) into an intersectional climate justice narrative.
Amidst so much unknown, Can't Stop Change shares an emergent hope: Moments of disaster create opportunities for immense transformation, where what once seemed impossible becomes possible. As we look towards the next hurricane season and next legislative cycle, how can we work with the changes to come to shape the futures we want?
