Sisters of the Planet screening @ Mercy Corps Action Center to End World Hunger

On October 24th, from 7pm to 8:30pm, Oxfam Action Corps NYC will be hosting a diverse discussion on climate change and what people can do here in the New York area to protect the most vulnerable communities worldwide from its impacts. The event will profile a 30 minute documentary called "Sisters on the Planet", which highlights the effects of climate change on women here and abroad. The event will take place at the new Action Center to End World Hunger, a beautiful new space for community action in downtown Manhattan (6 River Terrace, Battery Park City), http://www.actioncenter.org/visit_us and we will be serving food and beverages. Our goal is to inspire the audience members to take action, either by reaching out to their elected representatives, by voting on election day, or simply by investigating advocacy initiatives in their own neighborhoods. RSVPs can be sent via email to newyorkcity@oxfamactioncorps.org.
