SUMMARY:Extinction Rebellion Roger Hallam Speaks About Climate Crisis
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: Roger was unable to get permission to enter the U.S. so he’s Skyping in!  \n\n\n\nWhat can we all do to avert catastrophe and avoid extinction? Roger Hallam has answers. In his new book\, “Common Sense for the 21st Century: Only Nonviolent Rebellion Can Now Stop Climate Breakdown and Social Collapse\,” Roger Hallam outlines how movements around the world need to come together now to start doing what works: engaging in mass civil disobedience to make real change happen. The book gives people the tools to understand not only why mass disruption\, mass arrests\, and mass sacrifice are necessary but also details how to carry out acts of civil disobedience effectively\, respectfully and nonviolently. It bypasses contemporary political theory\, and instead is inspired by Thomas Paine\, the pragmatic 18th-century revolutionary whose pamphlet Common Sense sparked the American Revolution. “Common Sense for the 21st Century” urges us to confront the truth about climate change and argues forcefully that only a revolution of society and the state\, similar to the turn that Paine urged the Americans to take into the political unknown\, can save us now. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Roger Hallam:\n\n\n\nIn April 2018\, Roger Hallam met with a group of 15 activists\, environmentalists\, and scientists in a café in Bristol. Along with Gail Bradbrook and Simon Bramwell\, he and others founded ExtinctionRebellion.  A former organic farmer and long-time climate change activist\, Hallam has been on successful hunger strikes\, been arrested 10 times and has served a prison term\, all in the service of preventing a climate catastrophe. \n\n\n\nHe holds nothing back: “Life as we know it is over\, hell is on the way\, and the only half decent thing to do now is to rebel against the governments which are planning the death of our children.  What scientists have told us endlessly for 30 years is now coming true. Climate breakdown is now everywhere.  We face social collapse\, war and starvation–and extinction.” \n\n\n\nRoger inspired Extinction Rebellion with his paper “Pivoting to the Real Issue\,” which argued that a mass nonviolent rebellion against the regimes leading the world toward destruction was now both possible and necessary.  Extinction Rebellion has chapters in more than 70 countries.  Extinction Rebellion/Capital Region is one of them.  \n\n\n\nRoger is coming to the United States to tell the American people that life as they know it is over–climate and ecological breakdown and the collapse of our weather patterns is now inevitable.  He says that huge fires\, massive floods and new diseases will only get many times worse. The only sane response in his view is immediate nonviolent mass civil disobedience against the governments responsible for this outrage\, and to promote the mass mobilization plan of Extinction Rebellion inAmerica. \n\n\n\nHe will be speaking to activists and supporters but most importantly to ordinary Americans to remind them of their own rebellious history and what democracy really means–government by the people for the people. \n\n\n\nThis talk by Roger Hallam at The Sanctuary for Independent Media is made possible by volunteer labor\, thousands of small donations and invaluable support from many organizations. \n\n\n\nThe Sanctuary for Independent Media is a community media arts center located in an historic former church in Troy\, NY.  The Sanctuary hosts screening\, production and performance facilities\, training in media production and a meeting space for artists\, activists and independent media makers of all kinds.

SUMMARY:NATURE Lab Workshop with Maria Michails: Air Quality [CANCELED/COVID]
DESCRIPTION:Due to COVID rates and concern for community safety\, this event has been CANCELED.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAir pollution is one of the more pervasive and invisible environmental health hazards of cities and has been in the public consciousness for several decades. The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 3.4 million people globally die prematurely as a result of outdoor air pollution each year. In the US a 2019 study\, contradicting previous EPA reports\, found that “more than 100\,000 Americans each year die of heart attacks\, strokes and other illnesses caused by air pollution spewed from factories\, motor vehicles and even bucolic-seeming farmland.”  \n\n\n\nAir pollution is not just an urban problem. Contributing to poor air quality in rural regions are activities such as fossil fuel extraction\, mining\, and large-scale commercial farming operations\, affecting small towns and farming communities. When government air monitoring doesn’t lead to regulatory enforcement of polluters\, how can the public protect themselves? In this workshop we will learn about the different types of air pollutants that may be in the air at any given time in our immediate area\, from particulates to gases. Maria Michails will also demonstrate several do-it-yourself approaches and devices that can monitor one’s immediate air quality and monitoring spikes and patterns over time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Maria Michails:\n\n\n\nMaria Michails is a Canadian artist whose art installations and community-based projects are at the nexus of art\, science and technology. She has exhibited throughout North America and Europe and has published essays and articles in journals and edited volumes. Her art projects have been featured in Scientific American\, The Alt\, the Albany Times Union\, as well as books and catalogues. She is currently a PhD candidate and SSRHC doctoral fellow in Electronic Arts at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy\, New York\, where she has developed a series of community-based air monitoring projects with community participants in Albany\, NY and in the oil fields of southeastern Saskatchewan.
