SUMMARY:Street Movies! with Urban Creators
DESCRIPTION:Free outdoor screening series bringing independent short films and videos to vibrant public spaces throughout Philadelphia\n\n\nHosted by Urban Creators\, join us for a screening and community-led discussion showcasing empowering stories with family\, fantasy\, music\, and unity at the core. \n7:30pm – Live Performance \n7:45pm – 9:30pm Film Program & Discussion \nFilm Program: \n\nDear Philadelphia (Dir. Renee Maria Osubu / USA / 2021 / 27:48 Minutes): With the help of their family\, friends\, and faith\, three fathers unravel the incomparable partnership of forgiveness and community in North Philadelphia.\nThe Love Machine (Dir. Jasmine Lynea / USA / 2022 / 9:45 Minutes): After successfully building a time machine that uses love to help heal and replace harmful childhood memories\, a teenage scientist/influencer puts his new invention to the test to challenge intergenerational trauma.\nDon’t Go Tellin’ Your Momma (Dir. Topaz Jones & rubberband. / USA / 2021 / 34:32 minutes): The Black ABCs were once taught across the United States. Created in 1970 by two Chicago teachers and the Society for Visual Education\, the cards and posters linked the 26 letters of the alphabet with language and imagery that reflected the lives of Black children. This forward-thinking educational tool was designed to empower Black youth\, who would finally see their community reflected in teaching materials\, which had historically been dominated by white faces. For musician Topaz Jones\, the Black ABCs served as an inspiration to explore his own coming of age in Montclair\, N.J. In the Sundance Film Festival winner “Don’t Go Tellin’ Your Momma\,” Jones and rubberband. take viewers on a visual and musical journey through Jones’s education on his own Black identity. Jones’s personal update to each letter of the alphabet continues the tradition of documenting Black life as valuable.\n\nFor over two decades now\, Street Movies! has been a great way for people to gather together\, engage with independent film\, and foster discussion around the cultural histories of their neighborhood and issues affecting their communities. All screenings are free\, open to the public\, and family-friendly.

SUMMARY:Profs & Pints Philadelphia: Climate Change 101
DESCRIPTION:[Profs and Pints Philadelphia](https://www.profsandpints.com/philadelphia) presents: **“Climate Change 101\,”** a crash course on the science related to directional climate change and global warming\, with Sean O’Donnell\, professor in Drexel University’s Biodiversity\, Earth and Environmental Science program. \n[Advance tickets: $13.50 plus processing fees. Available at [https://profs-and-pints-black-squirrel.ticketleap.com/climatescience/](https://profs-and-pints-black-squirrel.ticketleap.com/climatescience/) .] \nWe hear and read a lot about climate change and global warming\, and it has become pretty hard to ignore the Philadelphia region’s wacky weather patterns with its recent freakily warm winters\, vanishing snow\, and late spring “heat domes.” \nMany of us\, however\, don’t have much of a grasp of the science explaining such developments and can’t answer questions such as: How do we really know that the climate is changing? If so\, why? Is Philadelphia’s strange local weather part of the bigger picture? \nGain an understanding of the basic science that helps us predict and understand climate change with the help of Sean O’Donnell\, an environmental ecologist and expert in animal responses to temperature conditions. \nHe’ll talk about how the Earth compares to the moon and other planets in terms of its atmosphere’s composition and function\, and he’ll discuss what drives dynamic climates that undergo changes in their normal range of variation. \nYou’ll learn about the scientific basis for how and why we expect the climate to change and how we know human activities are driving changes. You’ll get a clear understanding of the evidence for and against climate change and a sense of the validity of various claims made by climate-change skeptics. \nDr. O’Donnell’s research is heavily focused on how various animals deal with shifts in climate conditions and extremely high or low temperatures. You’ll walk away from his talk with a clearer understanding of what we can expect to deal with down the road. ( Doors: $17\, or $15 with a student ID. Doors open at 3 pm. Talk starts at 4:30.) \nImage: Texas’s Lake Ray Hubbard after a drought. Photo by Terry Shuck / Creative Commons
