Rethinking the Environmental Movement: An Earth Day Discussion

Samantha Sweetwater, Reverend Billy Talen and Daniel Pinchbeck will reflect on the evolution of the environmental movement to illuminate the scale of the challenges before us and help us imagine a more grounded, relational, and life-affirming path forward. From early conservation efforts and street protest to today’s broader reckoning with climate disruption, inequality, and spiritual disconnection, the panel will explore how the movement is changing and what forms of activism, leadership, and community this moment now requires.
