The San Francisco Oxfam Action Corps invites you to a free reception and screening to honor the launch of Oxfam's new film, "Sisters on the Planet," which tells the story of four women determined to do whatever they can to fight climate change.
As obvious as it sounds, climate change affects everybody. But climate change is already having a disproportionate impact on people in poor communities, and it’s hitting women hardest.
It’s not the easiest idea to understand, so to help explain we’ve made these short films about women, in both rich and poor countries, who are determined to do whatever they can to put a stop to climate change.
Watch them and become aware of the impact our changing climate is having on people’s lives. And be inspired to join the fight against climate change (yummy hors d'oeuvres and wine too!).
