Sisters on the Planet Screening


You're Invited!


Come join us to see how four inspirational women are fighting back against climate change—and learn how you can help. We'll be screening the Sisters on the Planet documentary film:


When: Tuesday, June 16th, time TBA (6 or 7pm)


Where: 1317 W. Roscoe, Apt. 3
Chicago, IL 60657


Why: We know that climate change is affecting the most vulnerable communities already, and as women are the primary caregivers and responsible for gathering food and fuel, they are feeling the brunt of these impacts even deeper. Four women: Sahena, Sharon, Muriel, and Martina are inspiring leaders, uniting their communities and becoming advocates for the weight that these burdens place on women and creating local solutions. Come learn more about the impacts and how we can join in the movement to help them build their resiliency.

No need to bring anything, but if you want to definitely feel free.
Please drop us a line to RSVP at chicago@oxfamactioncorps.org.

Hope to see you there! To learn more about the project, check out this link:
