You are invited: Sunday, February 5th at 3:30pm Saskatchewan time to a special online event hosted by the Amnesty International Canada Climate Justice Workshop Team:

What do you get when you combine activism with art, and human rights with climate justice? We think it’s a recipe for powerful climate action!

We know art can reach many people about the climate crisis in ways news and reports cannot. Join us online to learn about two projects that are putting writing and illustration to use in informing youth (and adults too!) about different aspects of the climate emergency and helping them imagine new ways forward.

We’re excited to host two wonderful speakers:

• Ann Eriksson is the author of Urgent Message from a Hot Planet: Navigating the Climate Crisis, an illustrated book about the climate crisis and how youth (as well as adults) can take action. She is also a founding director of the Thetis Island Nature Conservancy and a biologist working to restore marine ecosystems.
• Eric Doherty is a transportation planning consultant who focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions while improving the livability of communities. His research informed Amnesty International’s 2021 report Stop burning our rights!, and he was a key contributor to Amnesty Canada’s latest comic book, Stop Paving Over Our Rights: How to have fewer cars, less pollution, and better transportation for all.

Ann and Eric will discuss climate justice issues including equality, emissions, and ecology, while exploring the importance of art. There will be opportunities for YOU to take action, as an individual and as part of the movement to protect people and the planet.
