Disability and Environmentalism Earth Day Screening

This Disability and Environmentalism Earth Day Screening is hosted by Yes! of America United, Inc.

Event Description
Join us at the historic Tampa Theatre for a special Earth Day event celebrating the intersection of disability and environmentalism!

Thanks to our presenting sponsor, CARD—the Center for Autism and Related Disabilities at USF—this event highlights the often-overlooked perspectives of people with disabilities in the fight against climate change.

The event will feature Fulbrighter Jason Strother’s powerful documentary, Invisible Impact: Disability on Climate Change’s Frontline, which explores how climate change disproportionately affects disabled communities. Following the screening, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session with the filmmaker, gaining deeper insights into the documentary’s message and the urgent need for inclusive environmental policies.

Finally, we will host a thought-provoking panel discussion on disability and environmentalism. Our distinguished panel includes Kyle Romano, a USF Honors College Professor specializing in disability studies; Jon Dengler, CEO of WellBuilt Cities, dedicated to sustainable urban development; and Rachel Lau, an environmental scientist and Fulbrighter to Nepal, bringing a global perspective on eco-advocacy.

This event is a must-attend for those passionate about sustainability, accessibility, and social justice. Join us in raising awareness and fostering meaningful discussions about building a more inclusive future for all!
