We invite you to join us for a fantastic youth-focused post-screening event with live performances, an engaging panel discussion, and free ice cream.

YOUTH v GOV is a film about young people holding their government accountable on the climate crisis in a landmark constitutional lawsuit. We will be discussing what this looks like on the Front Range of Colorado, where communities have been standing up to protect their rights to a liveable planet. We’ll be digging into how our constitutional rights relate to environmental justice, youth activism, and how our young citizens (older ones too!) can engage in our democracy, in all sorts of ways, to fight for and to protect our future.

Local organizations will be joining the Call2Action with tools to activate our community in initiatives that are fighting climate change and encouraging our elected officials to turn the tide on this urgent crisis.
