Grasping at the Roots Documentary Screening

​Grasping at the Roots -  a Climate Justice Alliance documentary by filmmakers Leah Derray and Keenan Rhodes - offers an intimate look into the lives of Black Environmental Justice communities as they confront economic hardships, community disruptions, and the realities of climate change. This 35-minute film highlights the resilience and solutions being crafted by those living on the frontlines, advocating for their rights and environment.

​Immediately following the screening, join us for light snacks and a powerful discussion on how to maintain environmental justice efforts during political turmoil. 

​It will be an evening of reflection, learning, and action. This event is not just about viewing a documentary; it’s a call to support environmental justice and amplify voices making a difference amid the current political climate.

​This event is Co-Sponsored by the Tishman Environment and Design Center at the New School.

​The Tishman Center is a collaborative community of practice that leverages research, policy, and design in accordance with the Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing. We bring together research and action to tackle the root causes of climate and environmental injustice and commit to change in higher education practices within and beyond The New School.
