Solutions Grassroots Trailer. Show coming to Brooklyn 9/21-9/26 from JFOX on Vimeo.

This summer we had two workshop performances of our newest project, The Solutions Grassroots Tour, in Callicoon and Oneonta, New York. These communities have fought hard against fracking and are ready to transition their towns from fossil fuels to 100% renewable energy.

We had packed houses for both shows, and the enthusiasm and commitment to developing democratic, renewable energy was awe inspiring. Now we want to share some of that experience with you.

Next, we’re bringing the show to Brooklyn right after the People’s Climate March when fractivists from all over the country will be in town.

THE SOLUTIONS GRASSROOTS TOUR
Directed by Josh Fox
Special premiere performance and fractivist after-party added after the People’s Climate March

September 21st – September 26th @ 7:30PM at the Irondale Theater
With guest hosts Mark Ruffalo, Debra Winger, Sandra Steingraber, Bill Mckibben, Zephyr Teachout, Peter Yarrow and Nahko Bear.

Get your tickets here.

The People’s Climate March is our chance to tell world’s leaders that we must act on climate change. We must end our deadly addiction to fossil fuels and transition to 100% renewable energy now.

As we continue to pressure our world leaders to take action, we must start taking action ourselves. The Solutions Grassroots tour is our chance to begin developing democratic, renewable energy on a community level.

We want to bring The Solutions Grassroots Tour to every community in the country that’s being threatened by fossil fuel development and climate change, and we’re working hard to make that happen.

Until we can share this incredible experience with you all in person, please watch and share our trailer, and join us in Brooklyn if you’ll be in town.

Thanks and have a great weekend,
Lee Ziesche, Gasland Grassroots Coordinator

The Solutions Grassroots Tour combines classic storytelling with roll-up-your sleeves organizing to look at the impacts of fossil fuel development and provide a vision for the developing renewable energy like no other event during Climate Week.

Conceived and directed by GASLAND Director Josh Fox, with a cast of over 20 actor/dancers, live video installation and Twin Danger, the world-class seven-piece band led by Vanessa Bley and 7 time Grammy-nominee stuart Matthewman this new play with music is an event like no other on the planet.

Gasland screenings galvanized communities to organize against fracking. The Solutions Grassroots Tour seeks to do the same for renewable energy development. The tour has already inspired communities to build renewable energy community teams in updtate New York- let’s do the same in NYC!

Most of August, Josh was out west shooting for his next feature film on climate change. He witnessed the devastation of wildfires in Colorado, beetle-kill in Wyoming, and methane emissions in the Bakken Shale of North Dakota.

The disastrous impacts of fossil fuel development on our communities have never been clearer. The time has come for democratic, renewable energy.

Communities impacted by fracking and other forms of extreme energy development know that the People’s Climate March is about much more than protecting our environment from climate change.

This march is about environmental justice and equality.

As the video said, to change everything, it takes everyone.

Please watch and share our video of the week and get your tickets to the Solutions Grassroots Tour.

See you in New York!

Thanks and have a great weekend,

Lee Ziesche, Gasland Grassroots Coordinator
