{ "name":"Parable of the Sower Turns 30", "description":"2023 marks the thirtieth anniversary of Octavia Butler's novel Parable of the Sower, which has only grown more relevant over the past three decades. For NPR, Ramtin Arablouei writes that Butler's work ”invites us to let go of the conventions that can lock us into a destructive future and to embrace our greatest power, to change.” In that spirit, join poets Camille Dungy and Ashia Ajani, as well as novelist Aya de Leon, to discuss the power of Octavia Butler’s prophetic parables, placing their own writing in her lineage connecting climate justice and racial justice. Moderated by Pinole mayor and climate organizer Devin T. Murphy, the panel will also explore current movement building to address the climate crisis while scientists are confident we can still save our planet!", "startDate":"2023-05-07", "endDate":"2023-05-07", "startTime":"14:30", "endTime":"15:30", "location":"Brower Center", "options":[ "Apple", "Google", "iCal", "Microsoft365", "MicrosoftTeams", "Outlook.com", "Yahoo" ], "timeZone":"America/Los_Angeles", "iCalFileName":"Reminder-Event" }
