About This Event
YOUTH v GOV is the story of America’s youth taking on the world’s most powerful government. Armed with a wealth of evidence, twenty-one courageous leaders file a ground-breaking lawsuit against the U.S. government, asserting it has willfully acted over six decades to create the climate crisis, thus endangering their constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property. If these young people are successful, they will not only make history, they will change the future.
This free virtual screening of YOUTH v GOV will be co-sponsored by the Northwest Alliance for Media Literacy, Gonzaga University's Center for Climate, Society and the Environment, and Gonzaga University's School of Leadership Studies. A panel discussion with the filmmakers and 2 youth plaintiffs will follow the screening.
