Human Rights CenterJoin the @hrcberkeley on Feb. 9 for two special in-person events with Our Children's Trust Chief Legal Counsel Julia Olson at @berkeleylaw! Our Children's Trust is a legal non-profit representing 21 youth plaintiffs in the Juliana v. United States constitutional climate lawsuit. They asserts that the U.S. government has violated the youngest generation’s constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property, through decades of actions that have resulted in climate change:
First, join us for a lunchtime chat with Julia Olson in conversation with Center for Law, Energy & the Environment at @berkeleylaw Executive Director Louise Bedsworth about strategic litigation in climate lawsuits and the latest legal strategies to secure the right to a safe climate. Lunch included, RSVP required!
Then, stay for our evening screening of the documentary film #YouthVGov, a Netflix film telling the story of Juliana v. United States, and a post-film chat with Julia Olson and UC Berkeley student climate advocates about ongoing strategies to compel governments and corporations to reduce carbon emissions, and how citizens can take action. Screening and post-film discussion will be held at @berkeleylaw. Pizza served, RSVP today!
