Climate Migration USA: America is moving and what it means to all of us. Join Tom Rausch from Citizens’ Climate Lobby for a presentation and discussion on how climate change is already impacting where Americans are living. We’ll look at how changing temperatures, rainfall and more are impacting many Americans already, take a look at profound impacts coming, and discuss why we can still be optimistic about the future.
Tom is a retired nuclear engineer who had a wide variety of roles in the power sector, and a retired second career health care professional. He became interested in climate change about 7 years ago after taking an online course on climate science and modeling, where he quickly realized how important climate change and its impacts are. Tom is an active member of non-partisan, grass-roots and science-based Citizens’ Climate Lobby, and has led discussion on many aspects of climate change with a wide variety of audiences. Tom is also co-leader of the Green Team of First Congregational Church in Glen Ellyn and believes there is much we can do in our country to improve the future for everyone.  Don’t miss this talk!  Tom is a captivating speaker!

What We Don’t Learn About the Black Panther Party – but should
A few of the major textbooks don’t even mention the Black Panthers, while most spend only a sentence or two on the organization. Even the small number that do devote a few paragraphs to the party give little context for their actions and greatly distort their ideology.
This interactive workshop introduces us to the pivotal history of the Black Panthers.
The local organizing that Black Panthers engaged in — giving the poor access to decent housing, health care, education, and much more — has been erased in the textbooks, yet it is precisely what won them such widespread support.
