SUMMARY:SOCAN Film Night: Youth v Gov
DESCRIPTION:Film Night: Southern Oregon Climate Action Now’s next monthly general meeting\, on Tuesday January 27th at 6:00pm at the Medford public Library. \nJoin us for a community screening of Youth v. Gov\, a powerful documentary following a group of young Americans who take the U.S. government to court over its failure to protect their constitutional right to a livable future. The film offers an inside look at youth-led climate litigation\, civic courage\, and the growing role of the courts in addressing the climate crisis. A timely reminder that civic engagement doesn’t stop at the ballot box—and that young people are helping reshape what accountability looks like. \n*SOCAN will be providing popcorn and hot tea.

You will learn how important the beautiful hummingbirds are for pollination\, how suburban gardens can support declining populations\, and how our food choices can impact their habitat and lifecycles. \nPart 2 – May 10\, 2026 – Martín López Aguilar will lead a talk and walk to identify hummingbirds\, and demonstrate how to submit your data to eBird to support community science. \nMartín López Aguilar is a professional bird bander and Project Leader at the Klamath Bird Observatory\, where he oversees the bird banding long-term monitoring program.
