The Environmental Defense Fund is hosting a screening of the movie From the Ashes at 6:30pm on July 21st. From the Ashes explores the reality of the coal industry in America and it’s future under the Trump administration. The documentary offers a view of how we can help struggling communities that rely on coal while still fighting climate change at the same time. The Reverend Sally Bingham, President and Founder of The Regeneration Project and Interfaith Power & Light, will offer comments on her many years and successes on the frontlines of climate advocacy, and her leadership in elevating the importance of the “moral imperative” that links faith and the environment. Jay Kairam, Directory of EDF’s California Clean Energy campaign, will discuss some of EDF’s work under the new Administration, and after the screening there will be an opportunity to take action by writing letters in support of local California clean energy initiatives.
