You’re invited, John!
A new documentary film about the climate crisis is coming to Netflix at the end of this month, and I wanted to invite you to watch a special early screening and to join 350 Action for a discussion with the filmmakers.
The White House Effect tells the origin story of the climate crisis and how, three decades ago, a political battle in the George H.W. Bush administration changed the course of history.
The film documents how a chance to take real climate action in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s was not just squandered but deliberately undermined – setting the stage for the ever-hotter and more dangerous future we all now face on the planet.
Will you join us, John? RSVP today!
WHAT: A discussion and Q&A session with the makers of The White House Effect
WHEN: Thursday, Oct. 30 at 8 PM EST / 5 PM PST
WHERE: Zoom
350 Action is hosting former EPA Administrator Bill Reilly, co-director of The White House Effect Bonni Cohen, and other special guests for an urgent discussion ahead of the film’s official release on Netflix on Oct. 31.
As we grapple with disastrous climate rollbacks at the federal level, and gear up for the midterm elections in 2026, it’s critical to have conversations about the levers of power we still have at our disposal.
The stakes are high, as we were repeatedly reminded this year – from the deadly and catastrophic flooding in Texas this summer to the recent typhoon that displaced hundreds in Alaska.
Join us as we reflect on what the film means in today’s political landscape and discuss solutions and pathways to continue the fight for climate justice against these barriers.
I hope to see you there!
