FILM DESCRIPTION: “<A HREF="https://www.fromtheashesfilm.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">From the Ashes</A>” captures Americans in communities across the country as they wrestle with the legacy of the coal industry and what its future should be under the Trump Administration. From Appalachia to the West's Powder River Basin, the film goes beyond the rhetoric of the "war on coal" to present compelling and often heartbreaking stories about what's at stake for our economy, health, and climate. The film invites audiences to learn more about an industry on the edge and what it means for their lives.
Reception at 5 p.m., film begins at 6 p.m.
Arrive at 5 p.m. to enjoy a pre-reception sponsored by UIC; you'll also get to engage with action and project ideas through Action Partners: Sierra Club Chicago Chapter, PERRO, IL PIRG 100% Renewable Energy Campaign, and students from UIC's Eco Educators and Heritage Garden Groups. 
After the film, participate in facilitated Q&A, and learn about meaningful action opportunities with: Robert Cohen, MD, FCCP, Clinical Professor Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences School of Public Health, UIC Black Lung Center of Excellence; Troy Hernandez, PERRO Board Member; Thomas Cmar, Deputy Managing Attorney for the Coal Program. Facilitator: Cynthia Klein-Banai, Associate Chancellor for Sustainability, University of Illinois at Chicago. After the discussion, visit once again with Action Partners described above, who can help us move from awareness to environmental action. 
Arrive early to avoid lines and get best seats. ADA compliant accessible venue.
