If we are to save our planet from rapidly approaching climate catastrophe, business as usual is no longer an option. Outgrow the System is a new documentary about transitioning to a more sustainable economic system, by co-directors Cecilia Paulsson and Anders Nillson. Extinction Rebellion PDX is sponsoring a screening of the film on Friday, November 15 at 7-8 pm followed by a panel discussion. The showing will be at the Cascade Campus of PCC in the Moriarty Arts Building at 705 N. Killingsworth. Today Patricia Kullberg speaks with XRPDX activist Michaela McCormick about the film and the alternative economic systems that it explores. Michaela McCormick is a well-seasoned transgender woman and organizer with Extinction Rebellion here in Portland. She's been working for transformational change for 50 years, mostly on building structures and processes to address the many injustices we endure toward a more just, compassionate, and sustainable world. More on the event can be found by searching for events at XRPDX.
