Attendees will learn from inspiring activists, scientists, farmers, and politicians about how regenerative land and sea practices have the potential to save our planet, rebuild our communities, combat climate change, and feed the world. Tonight’s film “Rooted” follows the story of Germaine Jenkins, a rising star activist and urban farmer in Charleston, South Carolina. Rooted’s deeper revelation is that when we talk about who controls the food chain and access to fresh produce in America, what we’re really talking about is whose health is prioritized, which bodies and revered, and which bodies are devalued.

Event by San Diego 350 488 8th Ave. San Diego 92101 — Rally with us at the downtown San Diego Sempra HQ to demand that President Biden declare a national emergency for the climate and STOP Sempra and SDG&E from cooking our planet with their fracked gas and gouging us with their unjust rates!

Sempra, the parent company of SDG&E, is charging us the highest rates in the country, and using their revenue to expand their fracked gas empire, quash renewable energy development, and export more and more liquid natural gas (LNG). We need President Biden to be a true climate leader by better regulating Sempra and the entire fossil fuel industry, and ending new fossil fuel extraction and LNG exports to other countries. We are going to rally, do some chalk art, and make our voices heard!! More info: https://sandiego350.org/event/civi_event_1516/?instance_id=582
