SUMMARY:John Lewis: Good Trouble
DESCRIPTION:Join AJC for a screening of Good Trouble at the Community First Village. There are 32 spots for cars\, but you can bring the whole family!\n\n\n\n\nAn intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life\, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020. \n\n\nThere will be snacks and concessions available.

SUMMARY:Georgetown Green Film Series: COOKED
DESCRIPTION:Huston–Tillotson University and Southwestern University present a virtual screening of “COOKED” followed by a Q&A discussion\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn COOKED: Survival By Zip Code\, Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Judith Helfand uses her signature serious-yet-quirky connect-the-dots style to take audiences from the deadly 1995 Chicago heat wave — in which 739 mostly black\, elderly\, and poor Chicagoans died during the course of one week– deep into one of our nation’s biggest growth industries: disaster preparedness. Along the way\, Helfand forges inextricable links between extreme weather\, extreme disparity\, and extreme racism\, daring to ask: what if a zip code was just a routing number and not a life-or-death sentence? \nThe schedule of the online event is as follows: \n\n6:00 pm CT – Film Screening\n8:00 pm CT – Panel Discussion\n\nYou must RSVP to receive the links to watch the film and panel. COOKED is 81 minutes long. To ensure you finish the film in time for the panel\, please start the film no later than 6:30 pm CT. \nPanelists: \n\nJudith Helfand\, Director and Producer of COOKED. Judith is an award-winning filmmaker\, educator\, field-explorer\, and social entrepreneur. She co-founded Working Films\, a national leader in linking non-fiction filmmaking to cutting edge activism. She has taught documentary filmmaking at NYU and the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Her films include A Healthy Baby Girl\, Blue Vinyl\, and Cooked: Survival by Zip Code.\n\n\nDr. Amanda Masino\, Chair of Natural Sciences and Associate Professor of Biology\, Huston–Tillotson University. Amanda directs HT’s Environmental Justice academic program\, co-founded and co-organizes HT’s annual environmental justice conference\, the Building Green Justice Forum\, mentors student group Green is the New Black and serves as Co-Director of the Dumpster Project\, a K-12 environmental learning program.\n\n\nRaymond Mejia Jr.\, Emergency Management Specialist\, City of Georgetown. Ray is a Senior Emergency Management and Homeland Security Specialist responsible to prepare the city and residents for all hazards\, respond to and recover from disasters\, and protecting critical assets\, resources\, and lives. He has 40 years of experience with international and domestic response\, security and VIP protection\, threat prevention\, hazard mitigation\, emergency preparedness and response\, and disaster recovery.\n\n\nMadeline Waterhouse\, Environmental Studies student\, Southwestern University. Madeline is a senior Environmental Studies student at Southwestern University and has completed internships with the Colorado River Alliance in Austin and the Coastal Bend chapter of the Texas Surfrider Foundation. Her passion for environmental justice paired with the national social justice momentum in summer 2020 inspired her group capstone project: “Climate Vulnerability in a Carceral State.”\n\nThe Georgetown Green Film Series was established by the Southwestern University Office of Sustainability to bring awareness to the environmental crisis through the visual arts by presenting films with an environmental focus for free to Georgetown and neighboring communities. In addition to showing an environmental film\, a panel of experts is invited to lead a proactive discussion with the audience about the topic at hand. \nThis event was made possible through a City of Georgetown Arts & Culture Board grant and Southwestern University’ Diversity Enrichment Fund.

SUMMARY:KLRU Broadcast Origins of a Green Identity
DESCRIPTION:Origins of a Green Identity is an hour-long documentary exploring Austin’s earliest efforts to preserve Barton Springs and Barton Creek\, and ultimately to create a city with publicly-accessible green spaces along Austin’s waterways throughout the City. The film is narrated by Texas novelist\, Sarah Bird and features original music from Austin’s Graham Reynolds and guitarist\, David Murray. (You can watch the documentary on Austin’s PBS station/ KLRU). \n\n \nRich in archival imagery\, the story focuses on two primary architects at the center of efforts to protect Barton Springs\, Barton Creek and to clean up and develop Ladybird lake\, Chairman of the Austin Parks Board\, Roberta Crenshaw and Director of the Austin Parks and Recreation Department\, Beverly Sheffield.\n\n \nTogether they worked for over two decades to raise awareness about the ways in which Austin’s post-war growth was threatening Barton Springs\, Barton Creek\, and indeed all of Austin’s waterways. Another key aspect of their continued efforts was to purchase lands for the public along Austin’s creeks\, and to fight against the privatization of open space along these waterways. While Austin today prides itself on its parks and a green sensibility\, in their day\, Beverly and Roberta were working against the status-quo; a time when real estate and development interests steered the ship in Austin’s city politics.\n\n \nRoberta was a visionary thinker and woman of high society who refused to be intimidated\, even as she clashed repeatedly with powerful political and business interests. Roberta’s principle ambition was to preserve the best green open spaces for the citizens of Austin to use and enjoy regardless of their social or economic status. She fought tirelessly to safeguard Austin’s natural treasures from the ill-effects of rapid and unregulated growth\, even while facing open hostility and sexism. She had many successes but made some missteps along the way. It is perhaps due to the bridges that she burned that her efforts related to Austin’s conservation scene are little remembered. Beverly Sheffield\, fueled by his love of the out-of-doors\, and driven by a deeply spiritual motivation\, worked from within the system as the Director of the Parks and Recreation Department. Together Roberta and Beverly sounded the alarm bells\, drawing attention to the need to protect Barton Springs and Barton Creek before they were destroyed by Austin’s rapid growth\, and cut off from public access.\n \nCertainly\, had Roberta and Beverly not laid the essential groundwork at such an early phase in Austin’s development\, it would not be the city it is today. The enduring natural state of Barton Creek and Barton Springs\, for instance\, can be traced directly back to their tireless efforts beginning five decades ago. Our video reveals for the first time in a documentary format Crenshaw and Sheffield’s critical roles in the shaping of Austin’s identity as a City with green at its heart.\n \n\nAbout Living Springs\nMany stories emanate from the spring-fed water of Barton Springs. Using the power of a multi-linear\, user-driven format\, viewers navigate through a virtual underwater environment\, meeting artists and scientists\, historic figures\, poets and preachers who share their perspectives and their passions about Austin’s most beloved natural resource. Visit our website. Living Springs is an on-going documentary series from U.T. Austin Associate Professor of Practice\, Karen Kocher.

SUMMARY:Trash Dance Screening and Talk
DESCRIPTION:The Trash Project\, a dance with 24 sanitation workers and 16 large vehicles of Austin Resource Recovery premiered on the misty Mueller tarmac in 2009.\n\n \nThe documentary Trash Dance chronicled what it took to make trash trucks and workers dance on that tarmac and how hundreds of Austinites in the audience saw sanitation work and workers in a new light. Directed by local filmmaker Andrew Garrison\, the film provides a special look at this year-long collaborative artmaking process led by Forklift Danceworks.\n \nJoin Forklift and Austin Resource Recovery (ARR) for a family friendly event and outdoor screening of Trash Dance to celebrate sanitation workers and this one-of-a-kind dance. Hosted by Terrill Haigler aka @__YaFavTrashman\, audience members will also hear from ARR sanitation operators about their essential work and learn how ARR works to protect and positively impact our environment.\n\n \nThis event is free; tickets are required and will be released online in June\nSeating is outside and picnic style\, so bring a blanket and/or a lawn chair\nDoors open at 7 p.m.\, talk begins at 8 p.m. and the screening will begin at sundown\nMasks encouraged & be ready to practice social distancing\n\n \nAbout Forklift:\nForklift Danceworks creates dances with people who may not consider themselves dancers\, including fire fighters\, warehouse employees\, and urban forestry technicians. Through collaborations with over 25 communities to date\, Forklift’s dances tell often-unheard stories and showcase the skilled movement of the people whose work sustains our daily lives. Ultimately\, Forklift Danceworks deepens understanding of the jobs essential to urban life\, fosters connections between citizens and across communities\, and creates opportunities for civic change.\n\n \nAbout ARR:\nAustin Resource Recovery provides a wide range of services designed to transform waste into resources while keeping our community clean. Services include curbside collection of recycling\, trash\, composting and large brush and bulk items; street sweeping; dead animal collection; household hazardous waste disposal and recycling; and outreach and education. Austin Resource Recovery offers free\, voluntary and confidential consulting services to help Austin businesses reduce waste and comply with the City’s recycling ordinances. In December 2011\, the Austin City Council approved the Austin Resource Recovery Master Plan\, which is the City’s road map to Zero Waste. The City of Austin is committed to reducing the amount of waste sent to area landfills by 90 percent by 2040. Learn more at austinrecycles.com.\n\n \nAbout Trash Dance and Andrew Garrison:\nChoreographer Allison Orr finds beauty and grace in garbage trucks\, and in the unseen men and women who pick up our trash. Filmmaker Andrew Garrison follows Orr as she rides along with Austin sanitation workers on their daily routes to observe and later convince them to perform a most unlikely spectacle. On an abandoned airport runway\, two dozen trash collectors and their trucks deliver — for one night only — a stunningly beautiful and moving performance\, in front of an audience of thousands. Andrew Garrison is an independent filmmaker based in Austin\, Texas\, who works in both documentary and fiction.\n\n \nAbout YaFavTrashman:\nLess than three months after accepting the position as laborer for the Philadelphia Sanitation Department\, Terrill Haigler became an essential worker. To bridge the gap between residents and sanitation workers he created the Instagram page @_yafavtrashman to give residents an inside look as to what sanitation workers experience during the pandemic. When Terrill noticed that his co-workers didn’t have the proper PPE to execute their jobs safely he decided to stand in the gap and start a Custom Ink t-shirt fundraiser to purchase PPE\, hand sanitizer and cleaning supplies. Catapulting him to Philly’s latest viral sensation.\n\n \nThanks to our sponsors Balcones Recycling\, HEB\, Austin Parks Foundation\, Bob Gedert Former Director of Austin Resource Recovery\, Austin Subaru\, Rocket Cinema\, and AFSCME Local 1624.\n\n \nThis project is supported in part by St. David’s Foundation\, the Alice Kleberg Reynolds Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Texas Commission on the Arts\, and the Cultural Arts Division of the City of Austin Economic Development Department.

SUMMARY:Climate Feedback Loops Program: Three Films and a Panel Discussion with Local Climate Organizations' Leaders
DESCRIPTION:At the Sierra Club’s monthly Climate Crisis Committee meeting\, which is open to everyone and will also be available on Zoom\, we’ll plunge into feedback loops and tipping points\, processes that could dramatically accelerate global warming. That these processes have started is clear but when they might hit critical levels is a big unknown.\n \nLast year\, a series of five short educational films about Feedback Loops was introduced in a program with Greta Thunberg and the Dalai Lama. At this introduction\, Greta said\, “We cannot solve the climate emergency without taking these feedback loops into account and without really understanding them. That is a crucial step.”\n \nAt our Climate Crisis Committee Meeting on July 5\, we will watch three of these films (total 45 minutes)\, the ones on the Tundra\, Albedo\, and Forests. Following the films\, local climate leaders will discuss their reactions to these films\, why (and whether) understanding feedback loops is important to climate activists\, and how their particular organizations can use this information in their work. We will conclude with a whole group discussion.
