BC Libraries Present: Conversations on Climate — Brandi Morin: On the Frontlines of Indigenous Land Defense

Indigenous communities are on the frontlines of the most devastating climate catastrophes across the world. And they are also leading the most powerful movements to stop the expansion of the fossil fuel industry, major culprits of these disasters.
 

Reporter Brandi Morin risks her freedom to report on these movements, and brings us the most critical stories of how people are pushing back against the economic status quo. She will share her experiences on what it’s like to report from protest movements, and how Indigenous activism is pushing towards a brighter climate future.
 

She will appear in conversation with Karyn Pugliese, Managing Editor of Canadaland.

“BC Libraries Present” is a new virtual author series that brings new insights and voices to people in every corner of British Columbia. BC public libraries, both big and small, host these events and provide access to award-winning authors to library users across the province.

For the inaugural season for this series, the topic is Conversations on Climate. Climate touches everyone’s lives, homes, jobs, and even their reading choices.
