Is Climate on the Ballot?
According to a recent CBS poll, 17% consider Climate Change to be America's greatest challenge in the next 50 years. That was right behind political divisions (25%) and economic affordability (22%), and ahead of Artificial Intelligence.
Climate Change may not be on the ballot, but voters say that global warming is an important issue in their voting decisions. Democrats, in particular, want to hear from candidates about their views concerning the climate crisis.
Join PECA on October 4th to explore this important voting issue!

Climate Movie Night
Third Thursday of the month at 6:30 pm; in-person or virtually!
October 15, 6:30pm
Income Inequality
This film is a passionate argument on behalf of the middle class featuring Robert Reich, a leading authority on economics who served under presidents Ford, Carter and Clinton. Reich demonstrates how the widening income gap in America has a devastating impact on our economy. Through his singular perspective, he explains how the massive consolidation of wealth by a precious few threatens the viability of the American workforce and the foundation of democracy itself.
Income Inequality first aired in 2013, yet, unfortunately, still resonates today; 8/10 on IMDb, running time 90 minutes.
