Climate on Tap: Stories of Remembrance & Restoration

In honor of our launch, Taproot Earth produced a riveting 7-episode virtual experience featuring the voices of frontline leaders taking on - and advancing - solutions to the climate, economic, and political crises of our times. This 7-day journey is grounded in a commitment to Black liberation, Indigenous leadership, and honoring of frontline solutions. Beginning with a sacred remembrance of the impacts of Hurricanes Katrina and Ida, this event will feature conversations and reflections that show the collective power of frontline communities to rise up and meet the moment we are in, so we can all live, rest and thrive in the places that we love.
