This event featured an in-depth conversation with visionaries Stacey Abrams, senior advisor to Rewiring America, and Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, co-founder of Urban Ocean Lab, about imagining better futures, finding hope and motivation for continued action, and where climate solutions are already taking root.
Esteemed multidisciplinary artist Aisha Shillingford of Intelligent Mischief, guided an interactive visioning exercise to collectively articulate the climate futures we want and how we can start building them now.
