On May 17, 2018, Bric Arts Media House is hosting a free public forum entitled "Climate Change: Whose Story?" that will be of interest to residents not only in and around Red Hook and Gowanus, but throughout Brooklyn.  After Hurricane Sandy and the flooding that ensued, we all know that climate change is definitely OUR story.

Here are the details.

Stories shape how we understand the world, our place in it, and our ability to change it. While many understand the crisis of climate change threatens human civilization, demand for government action lags far behind. Who is telling the story of climate change and how does it shape our response to this crisis? What stories lead people to action?

Come out to media and culture hotspot BRIC ARTS/MEDIA HOUSE for a provocative public forum featuring leading figures in communications, journalism, politics and activism that will address the frameworks, strategies, and challenges in communicating the urgency of climate change.

A panel of leading figures in communications, journalism, politics, and activism will discuss the frameworks, strategies, and challenges in communicating the urgency of climate change.
