This introduction explores the power of imagination as a catalyst for change, the responsibility that comes with innovation, and the urgency of collective action. It asks not just what kind of future we want, but what kind of future we are willing to build—and whether we have the courage, clarity, and collaboration to begin now.<h3> </h3>Facilitator: Tara DePorte, Founder and Executive Director, Human Impacts InstituteWith Special Guests:<ul><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissajunrowley/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissajunrowley/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Melissa Jun Rowley</a>, Communications Director, REVERB &amp; Advisor, Creatives for Climate</li><li><a href="https://www.ldpilcher.com/about" title="https://www.ldpilcher.com/about" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Lydia Pilcher</a>, Emmy winning, Academy Award nominated Producer, and Storytelling Arts educator, Columbia Climate School</li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lilyjoywinder/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lilyjoywinder/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Lily Joy Winder</a>, Indigenous Advocate</li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ranjani-p/overlay/about-this-profile/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ranjani-p/overlay/about-this-profile/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ranjani Prabhakar</a>, Ranjani Prabhakar, Legislative Director of Healthy Communities, Earthjustice, &amp; Founder, Mycelia Arts Lab</li></ul>This event is hosted by the Human Impacts Institute and made possible thanks to the support of our incredible partners:THIRTEEN (Media Partner), ALL ARTS (Media Partner), Creatives For Climate (Media Partner), Serica Initiative, DearTomorrow, Kinship, ClimArts, Climate Imaginarium, Climate Cafe NYC, REVERB, NRDC, Earthjustice, Global Rise: Stories for the Future, Decolonizing Wealth Project, and New York Lawyers for the Public Interest.Thanks to funding for this program from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Environmental Justice Grants program and the UMI Fund.#CreativeClimateForum#ClimateWeekNYC#FastResponsesSlowRevolutions#ClimateJustice#CollectivePower#ArtForChange#Pier57
