Movie Night with Speak for the Trees, Boston: City of Trees
Monday, March 16
5:30 PM – 7:30 PM EDT
This film provides a critical view into issues of urban forestry & social equity. Join us in learning more about why urban trees matter.
Since 1990, nonprofit Washington Parks & People has tried to reduce poverty and violence in Washington, D.C. neighborhoods by improving parks. At the height of the recession, the organization received a stimulus grant to create a "green" job-training program in communities hardest hit. They had two years to help unemployed people find jobs and care for parks in their neighborhoods.
Steve Coleman, a grassroots environmental activist who directs the organization, must hire 150 unemployed residents to plant several thousand trees and provide training in the soft skills required to get a job. For Charles Holcomb, the paycheck offers a chance to give his newborn daughter the life he never had. For Michael Samuels, the job training is a first step forward after a drug conviction marred his employment record. For James Magruder, the program offers a chance to prove that his neighborhood roots position him as an unsung leader.
What sounds like a simple goal — putting people back to work by planting trees — becomes complicated by community tensions and a fast-approaching deadline before the grant money runs out. Filmed in an unflinching and compelling verité approach over the course of more than two years, CITY OF TREES thrusts viewers into the inspiring but messy world of job training and the paradoxes changemakers face in urban communities everyday.

Jewish Climate Action Network - Coronavirus and climate activism
Monday, March 16
7:30 PM
Online
RSVP by emailing to jcan.intern@gmail.com with the header "I Want to talk about the coronavirus and climate on Monday at 7:30”
We have entered uncharted territory.
As climate activists, with the amount of carbon in the atmosphere still rising and the threats of climate disruption ever-present, we knew we were already there. But Covid-19 has turned our world upside-down in a matter of days.
We fervently wish the dangers from changing climate could make both public and private leaders reverse business as usual as quickly. And as climate activists, we intuitively recognize the likelihood of a connection between climate change and the appearance of the coronavirus in humans. We understand our current situation as just a taste of what our future could be.
Unless we act.
COVID-19 is scary. The economic impact is frightening. Our lives are disrupted. But our mandate to continue our climate activism is stronger than ever.
We need to feel the fear – of both CV and climate change, but we also need to let the fear flow through us and out into the world. We need to give ourselves time and space to care for both our bodies and our souls. And then we need to keep on working, keep on turning toward a more beautiful world.
Rabbi Katy Allen invites you to join one of two JCAN-MA online discussions about coronavirus and climate activism. These forums will be an opportunity to connect with other activists, to share your concerns and fears, to discuss ways to remain active as things are shutting down, and to support each other.

Bird Safe Design: Strategies for Designing Bird-Friendly Buildings
Tuesday, March 17
1:00 PM – 3:00 PM EDT
Room Edison, 16th Floor, 50 Milk Street, Boston
Cost: $35
This course will explore strategies for designing bird-friendly buildings through the use of case studies and current regulations.
This class reviews the science that explains bird collisions, how to recognize hazards present in the built environment, and a range of building designs that illustrate solutions. These case studies will explore many of the available strategies for reducing bird mortality; these bird-friendly strategies oftentimes bring additional value to design decisions for heat, light, and security. We will review regulations connected to bird-friendly design, including the use of the LEED credit as well as current legislation that mandates safer design for birds. Techniques now in use for evaluating the relative threat level to birds of different materials are also described in this course, along with typical results.
Course objectives:
Identify and apply current best practices in reducing bird collisions in new design
Integrate bird-friendly architecture with other aspects of green design
Understand existing and potential legislation mandating bird-friendly design
Use LEED Pilot Credit #55: Reducing Bird Collisions
Editorial Comment: Up to nearly a billion birds a year in the USA die from hitting buildings and windows it is estimated, the second largest killer of birds after cats. About a third of a billion birds are killed by wind turbines. We should learn how to reduce that damage.

Extinction Resilience: Gathering for Strength
Tuesday, March 17
7 p.m.
Online at Zoom: xrr.nyc/zoom
How do we transform our despair into hope and our anger into compassion? How do we co-create a new world while witnessing systemic collapse? Can we write a new narrative by asking ourselves: what is truly life-giving and sustaining?
The climate crisis is a collective trauma on a scale never before seen. To experience grief, confusion, rage, and despair is not only normal, it is also a sign of our capacity to love. Unfortunately, in a culture that so often denies our humanity, we are often left to feel our pain in isolation. Or, we are urged to jump into relentless action, often bypassing the opportunity to tap into the joys and pleasures of being alive - the very things that will help us stay nourished, grounded, and connected for the long haul.
Whether you’re already a climate activist or just getting introduced to the movement, Extinction Resilience is a monthly space to be present with the reality of our times. Through listening, reflective discussion, and dynamic and thought-provoking exercises, we will discover how to cultivate radical hope in the face of uncertainty, together.
Please note that this is a time to put aside the organizing tasks and to simply be with each other in this tumultuous time.
Facilitated by Chelsea MacMillan from XR-NYC. Chelsea is a spiritual director, writer, facilitator, and co-coordinator of the XR NYC regenerative culture working group, where she co-leads monthly Extinction Resilience sessions. She’s cofounder of Brooklyn Center for Sacred Activism, cohost of The Rising: Spirituality for Revolution podcast, and her writing has appeared previously in Anchor Magazine, Anatomy of Silence, and Matthew Fox’s Order of the Sacred Earth. www.chelseamacmillan.com

American Extremes: How the News Media Defines the Political Mainstream
Thursday, March 19
3:30-4:30 pm
BU Morse Auditorium, 602 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston
Dr. Deen Freelon, Associate Professor, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
school of media and journalism
Extreme views and the people and organizations that espouse them have become increasingly visible in American politics recently. On the right, the so-called alt-right and other ultraconservative voices have succeeded in spreading their messages via their own outlets, traditional media, and occasionally the President’s Twitter account. On the left, we see a growing number of prominent politicians who unapologetically identify as socialist, from Bernie Sanders to Cynthia Nixon to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. For better or worse, these two factions have both traveled long journeys from the political fringes toward a degree of heightened legitimacy. Currently, very little research has explored how this process occurs and what factors influence its speed and magnitude.
Dr. Deen Freelon‘s research seeks to answer these questions. His overarching thesis is that the mainstream news media tells the rest of us which individuals, groups, and ideas are politically “legitimate” (meaning holding views worthy of consideration and discussion) and “deviant” (the opposite). Building upon the theoretical work of communication scholar Daniel Hallin and others, Dr. Freelon will present preliminary findings from a computational analysis of the changing journalistic portrayals of three extreme ideologies: white nationalism, anti-capitalism, and Islamic fundamentalism. The goal of this analysis is to better understand the extent to which the news media has portrayed these ideologies as acceptable or unacceptable, and how these portrayals have changed over the past 25 years.

Primary Post-Mortem: Manchester Divided Recap—a live podcast taping and debriefing
Thursday, March 19
6-8pm
Podcast
Join reporters and editors from the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism (BINJ), in collaboration with the Society of Professional Journalists New England chapter and Emerson College Department of Journalism, for a discussion about national political coverage in 2020 and a postmortem on their team’s attempt to provide more than just run-of-the-mill horse race reporting leading up to the New Hampshire primary last month.
In early February, the team from BINJ traveled to the Granite State with a single question guiding our coverage: What do you want candidates to be talking about as they compete for votes? In response, more than 200 readers and members of the public helped us build a Citizens Agenda, which we used to inform 40 articles that were distributed to outlets nationwide.
As BINJ Editorial Director Chris Faraone recently told Bridget Thoreson of Hearken, which put together a helpful guide for implementing the Citizens Agenda, “We already had the idea that we wanted to cover things that weren’t being covered. I feel like this is just some of the most cringeworthy coverage we have ever seen. So especially this election cycle I felt like there just needed to be more substance.”

Summit 2020: brands & the disinformation reality
Monday, March 23
4:30 - 6:30 pm
Webinar
"Is this even true?"
Disinformation is a very real issue facing brands in 2020. Information has never been more quickly or broadly, spread with the chance to go viral at everyone’s fingertips — whatever the content.
Today, disinformation can disrupt and distort the conversation between customer and brand, influencing what consumers believe and what they’re willing to buy. How brands decide to respond, from fighting back to promoting the disinformation, will set norms for how others react. Brands today are in a powerful position to put a stake in the ground that may just change the role disinformation plays in our world.
At Summit 2020 we’ll investigate how brands and disinformation shape one another from multiple perspectives:
Ezra Englebardt, expert in brand strategy, planning, and execution
Renée DiResta, trust and technical research manager at the Stanford Internet Observatory at Stanford University
James Mickens, Gordon McKay Professor of Computer Science at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
The event will be moderated by Jill Avery, senior lecturer of marketing at Harvard Business School.
