Join us for an evening of networking, refreshments, and a powerful discussion on how we can achieve climate justice.

Home to the world’s largest naval base, Norfolk, Virginia is sinking. It is more vulnerable than even New Orleans. The insufficient flood walls end where a housing project and a historic African American community begins. Underwater Projects mixes animation with live action to profile the area’s local leaders as they rush to create climate resilience plans to face an uncertain future. The film features narration by comedian Wanda Sykes and is directed by Liz Havstad. Join us on Thursday, February 20th at Georgetown University’s Lohrfink Auditorium to watch and discuss this important film .
