Join the Social Justice and Equity Center for a free hybrid film screening of Necessity: Climate Justice & The Thin Green Line. This film follows activists as they enlist the necessity defense in a jury trial after being arrested for a direct action at Zenith Energy in Portland, Oregon. This story of climate resistance in the Pacific Northwest brings into view a historical landscape of tribal leaders, Indigenous activists and white allies as they resist oil trains and trucks carrying their highly inflammable products through protected waterways and treaty lands. Open to students, staff, faculty and community members, this screening will provide space for climate justice movement dialogue.
