DESCRIPTION:OccupyForum presents…\n\n \n\nMonday, July 21st from 6 – 9 pm at Global 
 Exchange\n\n2017 Mission Street near the 16th and Mission Street BART\n\n 
 \n\nInformation, discussion & community! Monday Night Forum!!\n\nOccupy 
 Forum is an opportunity for open and respectful dialogue\n\non all sides of 
 these critically important issues!\n\n \n\nThe People’s Climate 
 Curriculum\n\nwith Laurie Baumgarten & Anne Donjacour\n\n \n\nAre you 
 interested in helping people understand why climate change is occurring and 
 what can be done about it?  If so, come to our workshop and learn how the 
 People’s Climate Curriculum is the tool you have been waiting for. It is 
 easy to use and helps each of us become learners and teachers of basic 
 climate literacy.\n\n \n\nEvery mass movement for change begins with a 
 change in consciousness. It involves a leap forward into a consciousness 
 that says, “I am a subject, not an object. I can act, I can do, I can 
 create.” Educational tools which promote the development of this 
 proactive stance are crucial\n\n to the work of popular education.\n\n 
 \n\nOur People’s Climate Curriculum educates through a method of teaching 
 developed by Paulo Freire called dialogic pedagogy. The teacher/animator 
 mingles among the participants. Together, through reflection, they 
 critically examine social reality. Unlike traditional educational models in 
 which participants are treated as objects to be taught, this interactive 
 model attempts to counteract passivity and promote action.\n\n \n\nClimate 
 change is part of everyone’s social reality. Being literate in climate 
 language helps us become empowered and thus, more able to solve the present 
 crisis. Join us to learn more about our popular education campaign and how 
 to use the People’s Climate Curriculum.\n\n \n\nLaurie Baumgarten has 
 been an activist since she was a freshman at Berkeley during the Free 
 Speech Movement. She was active in the anti-war movement, the women's 
 movement and The Abalone Alliance. She was also a classroom teacher for 35 
 years in the Berkeley Unified School District. Laurie joined the climate 
 movement about 2 years ago and helped develop the People's Climate 
 Curriculum. She now works with The Sunflower Alliance. Anne Donjacour, 
 mother of three bad-ass daughters, was introduced to activism by Occupy SF 
 and is now a regular at Occupy Forum. She is also active in 350SF and 
 freelances with other environmental groups and issues, helping to create 
 the People's Climate Curriculum. When she is not protesting or lobbying or 
 playing with the dog she is teaching or doing research at UCSF.\n\n \n\nQ&A 
 and Announcements to follow. Donations to OccupyForum gladly accepted; no 
 one turned away!\n
