The Human Impacts Institute <http://www.humanimpactsinstitute.org/> is
excited to invite you to join us for our 2017 Impact Hours series will dig
into ongoing environmental and social justice work, while sharing tools for
more effective personal and organizational action. Helping people navigate
the current climate of information “clutter” is more important than ever.
Each Impact Hour will include perspectives from an artist, activist, and
academic on issues of communication, engagement, action, and impact.
Together, we will challenge each other’s assumptions and share practical
tactics for sparking social change. Join us in-person in NYC (space is
limited) or online from around the world.
Thank you to Invoking the Pause, a small environmental grants program and
the Brooklyn Art Library for their support of this series.
