The impact of climate change is undeniable and catastrophic. The recent and ongoing fires in Australia  are a heartbreaking demonstration of this. But the Trump administration has met this crisis by systematically and efficiently enacting an alarming number of regulatory rollbacks, reversing past policy progress and putting our very existence at risk.

Through dramatic scenes of drought, wildfires, hurricanes and floods, ROLLBACKS  reveals how successful the Trump administration has been in reversing policies that protect the environment - from the Paris Agreement, to regulations on Coal, Endangered Species, the Opening of Public Lands to drilling, to mention but a few. The film tells the truth about the extremely dire situation we find ourselves in, with less than 8 years, according to the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), to make the changes necessary to avoid the worst consequences of our imminent catastrophe. 

Following the 30 minute movie, we will host a discussion that will center around the question: In light of the fact what is depicted in this video is the ultimate crime against humanity, and all other sentient beings, how do we as citizens effect the immediate and comprehensive changes required to avert climate apocalypse when we are opposed by such a hostile and life-subversive national government?

This video is produced and directed by the same people in Woodstock, Vermont who created the excellent film that we’ve screened in the past, “The  Wisdom to Survive: Climate Change, Capitalism & Community”

Solidarity Event in Support of
Indigenous Tribe’s Resistance to Oil Pipelines on Their Ancestral Land

Monday, March 22, 6-8 PM

Brattleboro Food Co-op Community Room, 2 Main Street, Brattleboro

The March Climate Café will host a Solidarity Event in Support of Indigenous Tribe’s Resistance to Oil Pipelines on Their Ancestral Land, on Monday March 2, 6:00 PM, Brattleboro Food Co-op Community Room, 2 Main Street (please do NOT park in Co-op parking lot and use the the Canal Street entrance to community room.)

As always, the Café is free (though we will pass the hat for needed donations to support the Wet’suwet’en resisters). Refreshments will be available.

Hereditary Chiefs of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation in (so-called) British Columbia have called for URGENT SUPPORT as they defend their ancestral lands from fracked gas and oil pipelines and defend their sovereignty.

The Canadian and provincial governments are violating Wet'suwet'en, Canadian, and international law. The Unist'ot'en Camp on 22 square kilometers of unceded territory is right now under attack by the courts and the RCMP.

A call has gone out for Indigenous and settler-ally land defenders. Funds are urgently needed for on the ground and legal defense.

COME TO a film/fundraiser to support the Unist'ot'en Camp! We will pass the hat to collect needed donations.

We will show a short film, “Invasion,” about the ten-year Wet'suwet'en struggle and the healing center they have built in the path of the pipeline, as well as several short video updates.

As always, the Cafe is free, and light refreshments will be available.

The Climate Café is a project of Post Oil Solutions that periodically convenes on most months .
