LA Climate Week: Join or Die Film Screening

The Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Sustainability Alliance, Urban Environmentalists LA, and the Westside Urban Forum are coming together to host this screening of Join or Die during LA Climate Week because it speaks to our present circumstances, with both climate action and democracy itself at a critical juncture. What can we do as local organizations to strengthen democracy and bolster our commitment to a healthy environment, despite unprecedented headwinds?

​Join or Die is a film about why you should join a club—and why the fate of America depends on it. In this feature documentary, follow the half-century story of America's civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam, whose groundbreaking "Bowling Alone" research into America's decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy's present crisis.
