Doors 6:30, Start 7:00pm Join Partnership for Southern Equity, and Working Films for the first Social Justice Screening: A Juneteenth “chat and chill”. Hosted by PSE’s Organizing Unit, this event will kick off a monthly film series diving into environmental racism and those who are fighting back. The first virtual screening and discussion will feature: Mossville, When Great Trees Fall. The film tells the story of Mossville, Louisiana: A once-thriving community founded by formerly enslaved and free people of color, and an economically flourishing safe haven for generations of African American families. Today it’s a breeding ground for petrochemical plants and their toxic black clouds. Many residents are forced from their homes, and those that stay suffer from prolonged exposure to contamination and pollution. Amid this chaos and injustice stands one man who refuses to abandon his family’s land - and his community. Join us for this free screening & discussion to learn more about how environmental racism is impacting communities and what you can do about it.
