Community Calendar

Speaking from a mother's perspective after the tragic loss of her son Matthew, diversity speaker Judy Shepard has made the prevention of hate crimes the focus of her efforts, and urges her audiences to make their schools and communities safer for everyone, regardless of their race, sex, religion, or gender identity and/or expression.

All community members are invited to join Spokane Public Schools leaders for conversation over coffee each month at a different high school. This month's meeting is at Shadle Park High School on Thursday, March 30, 8-10 a.m.

Free coffee is provided courtesy of Thomas Hammer Coffee Roasters. No RSVP is necessary.

Please check in at the school office and follow the signs to the event.

A schedule of future events can be found at spokaneschools.org/coffee.

If you have questions, please send a message at spokaneschools.org/letstalk.

The world is currently in the midst of a global energy transition of historic proportions. Countries around the world are moving from high carbon to low carbon energy economies. Reasons for the accelerated adoption of renewable energy sources include economic prosperity, climate change, environmental sustainability, and security. The transition to a new and disruptive suite of renewable energy technologies will result in a consequential redistribution of economic, political, and social power. We will discuss how our policies and actions addressing global climate change and the energy transition invariably address the perennial themes of social and political thought: justice, equity, virtue, and liberty, and we’ll explore the potential of renewable energy serving as a midwife to greater social justice, economic equality, and a flourishing democratic culture.

Join us for an extra special Poetry Month storytime with local picture book author and poet Jessy Humann, reading her beautiful new book: I Could Be A Million Things. A poetry activity will follow the story.

As usual, all are welcome and no registration is required! We look forward to seeing your bright faces!
