June Events

There are some events happening during the month of June, that might be of your interest:

• Dr. Christopher Schell from UW Tacoma is giving a talk on June 9 at 7 p.m. Community and Justice: Urban Conservation and Human-Wildlife Coexistence at the Pacific Science Center.

In this presentation, Urban Ecologist Dr. Chris Schell will discuss the patterns and processes by which wildlife are adapting to cities. Learn how carnivores like coyotes and raccoons have become sentinels of urban environments, helping reframe how we consider our cities as viable greenspaces, and come together as a community around their amazing stories. Their narratives provide another lens on how we can be effective environmental stewards through activism and social justice that dismantles structural racism and classism.

• Join the Northwest African American Museum virtual book club reading The Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler, and attend Carol Anderson’s lecture on June 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the Seattle Arts and Lectures. She is the author of White Rage and One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression is Destroying Our Democracy.
