Third Act Washington presents author, educator and environmental activist Bill McKibben on July 2 at 7:00pm in a talk about what’s needed now to save our planet and democracy, what’s bringing him joy and gives him hope, and why he believes Third Act can have a huge impact on making our world a better place for all of us, and for generations to come.
Bill is renowned for mobilizing popular support for action on climate justice and democracy. He has authored 20 books, including The End of Nature (1989) which is regarded as the first book for a general audience about climate change. He also helped found 350.org, the first global grassroots climate campaign, which has organized protests on every continent, including Antarctica, for climate action. In 2022 he founded Third Act, a national organization with over 70,000 members that organizes people over the age of 60 for action on climate, justice, and democracy.
Bill will give a call to action to inspire and motivate attendees to take stepped-up action on climate and democracy, especially in the face of intensified climate disruption, political polarization and backlash, and our democracy in peril. His talk will be followed by a Q & A.
