Social Justice Series: LGTBQIA2S+
2021-06-23 12:00 - 13:00 | WA
Join the Wenatchee Valley Museum and a local panel on Wednesday, June 23 at 7 PM as we continue the conversation in our Social Justice Series by addressing LGBTQIA2S+ Rights. The LGBTQIA2S+ community recognizes June as the Official PRIDE MONTH, the month of June is the start of pride events all across the globe, extending over several months to folks from all walks of life. PRIDE is an annual celebration of LGBTQIA2S+ identity and a call for equal rights. LGBTQIA2S+ people of all ages continue to suffer from violations of their human rights through discrimination, harassment, and violence. Even state governments often fail to adequately protect LGBTQIA2S+ people from discriminatory treatment in the private sphere, including in the workplace, housing and healthcare.
Join us on Zoom and Facebook Live as we engage in a thoughtful, inclusive, and open-minded discussion about how we as a community can work to ensure that LGBTQIA2S+ people belong here and can live openly and authentically without discrimination, harassment, or violence.

Environmental Film Series: Anthropocene
2021-05-25 12:00 - 13:00 | WA
Join us and our partner/film sponsor North Central Washington Audubon Society in viewing the documentary Anthropocene: The Human Epoch and participate in a follow-up Zoom Q&A Sessions on Tuesday, May 25 at 7 PM.
A Working Group of international scientists is deciding whether to declare a new geological epoch – the Anthropocene – a planet shaped more by mankind than nature. Its members tell the story of the Anthropocene and argue whether it’s a tragedy, a comedy, or something more surreal. With archival footage, award-winning stills and interviews, Anthropocene proposes a common secular narrative for mankind but leaves viewers to decide how we should write the ending.
Registration is by donation. After registering you will receive an email with a link to preview the film at your leisure and join us virtually for a Q&A Session with a local panel on Tuesday, May 25 from 7 – 8 PM.
