Park Tavern, 1645 W. Jackson, Chicago
Help make some noise for the planet, as One Earth launches its 12th festival season! Enjoy appetizers, drinks, and mingling with filmmakers, environmentalists, activists, and like-minded guests—all ready to rally for our one Earth. A brief program will begin promptly at 7:30 p.m., with a previous One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest-winning film (“A Revolution Dance Against Petcoke”); opening remarks by Jared Policicchio, Chicago’s Deputy Chief Sustainability Officer; and the exclusive screening of a short film (that’s not on the week’s festival schedule), followed by a keynote from Jahmal Cole, Founder & CEO of the change-making Chicago-based youth nonprofit, My Block, My Hood, My City (M3). M3’s mission speaks to how justice and empowerment—tools for restoring both people and planet—can remake our blocks, our neighborhoods, our cities, our countries, and our world.
Your $65 ticket allows you to get all this and the Launch Party+! A pre-party glass-raise with filmmakers and champagne (or a sparkling non-alcoholic beverage). Attire is business casual or cocktail attire.
