SUMMARY:Imagine 2200: Climate Fiction for Future Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:Imagine 2200: Climate Fiction for Future Ancestors with Tory Stephens Climate Fiction Creative Manager for Grist \nWEDNESDAY\, SEPTEMBER 27th 6:30—7:00 PM EST\nVirtual Event: Email clapp@cwmars.org for Zoom link! \nJoin Tory Stephens of Grist Magazine\, an independent non-profit media organization focused on the climate crisis\, and learn how he created Imagine 2200: Climate Fiction for Future Ancestors. Imagine is a storytelling initiative that calls for fiction writers to envision the next 180 years of equitable climate progress\, imagining intersectional worlds of abundance\, adaptation\, reform\, and hope. The initiative also seeks narratives that center solutions from the communities most impacted by the climate crisis\, and stories that are rooted in cultural authenticity (a deep sense of place\, customs\, cuisine\, and more) and rich subcultures that uplift traditions not often seen in mainstream literature. Over the course of three years the project has encouraged 3\,000 plus writers from 91 countries to submit stories\, and of which 700\,000 people have read. Writers and readers alike will enjoy this climate justice romp. \nAbout the Speaker: Tory Stephens creates opportunities that transform organizations and shift culture. He is a resource generator and community builder for social justice issues\, people\, and movements. He currently works at Grist Magazine as their climate fiction creative manager\, and uses storytelling to champion climate justice\, and imagine green\, clean\, and just futures. In another life he owned a kick-butt streetwear company\, and he would have gotten away with eating the last cookie too\, if it weren’t for his three meddling kids. \n  \nProgram is part of Climate Prep Week\, and is hosted by libraries through out Massachusetts and is coordinated with CREW and Blue Marble Librarians.  This year\, CREW’s theme recognizes the interconnectedness of climate change with other injustices such as health\, race\, food\, ableism\, and so many more. The impacts of extreme weather affect all of us\, but it’s also important to recognize that the consequences are not experienced equally. CREW is planning on hosting 3-5 central events this year focussing on climate education and uplifting the work of organizations supporting environmental justice (EJ) communities.
