Can’t Stop Change: Queer Climate Stories from the Florida Frontlines [Rubber Room]

Free Film Screening “Can’t Stop Change: Queer Climate Stories from the Florida Frontlines” Thursday, June 18th, at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios Doors 6 pm | Showtime 6:30 pm Presented by The PETAL Project, Pridenton, & TWU Environmental Science: “Can’t Stop Change: Queer Climate Stories from the Florida Frontlines” weaves interviews with 15 LGBTQ2S+ artists, organizers, and educators across Florida (and the new Florida diaspora) into an intersectional climate justice narrative. Amidst so much unknown, “Can’t Stop Change” shares an emergent hope: Moments of disaster create opportunities for immense transformation, where what once seemed impossible becomes possible. As we look towards the next hurricane season and next legislative cycle, how can we work with the changes to come to shape the futures we want? Here in Texas, we share in the struggles of our southern LGBTQ2S+ comrades and amplify their message of emergent hope and transformative change.
