LIVESTREAM: THE RIGHT TO A
FUTURE — WITH NAOMI KLEIN AND GRETA THUNBERG
September 6 2019, 9:38 a.m.
THE INTERCEPT INVITES you
to watch a special event in New York City hosted by Intercept senior
correspondent Naomi Klein, author of the forthcoming book “On Fire: The
(Burning) Case for a Green New Deal,” and headlined by trailblazing climate
activist Greta Thunberg, author of “No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference.”
Together with youth leaders Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, Xiye Bastida, and Vic
Barrett, as well as Indigenous Amazon leader Tuntiak Katan, Thunberg
and Klein will help us envision a just and sustainable future,
confront our climate emergency, and discuss the emerging cross-generational,
transnational movement — including people of all races, classes, and
backgrounds — that is our best hope for a sustainable planet.
Both a celebration of youth
activism and a reflection on how to break through the political and economic
barriers preventing meaningful climate action, “The Right to a Future” will
bring together a singular group of environmental leaders who are on the
forefront of the battle to secure a thriving future for many generations to
come.
“The Right to a Future”
will kick off a week of climate coverage, starting September 15, by
Intercept reporters working across our beats. The effort is part of Covering
Climate Now, a project co-founded by The Nation and Columbia Journalism Review,
in partnership with The Guardian, that “aims to convene and inform a
conversation among journalists about how all news outlets can do justice to the
defining story of our time.”
This event also takes
place ahead of the Global Climate Strike starting September 20 and
the U.N. Climate Action Summit on September 23.
The event in NYC is sold out.
The livestream begins on Monday, September 9 at 7 p.m. ET.
