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.
