The LIFE CAFE is a gathering of people with heart who would like to engage in conversations about global issues like climate justice, environmental protections, ecocide, genocide and massive military spending to local concerns such as homelessness, drug addiction, indigenous rights, affordable housing and healthcare.

Together, we can share ideas, resources, care and support. Through compassionate dialogue, we can find our way into a relationship with each other and the earth.

I hope you will consider attending and being a part of these important conversations.

Earth's Greatest Enemy Documentary Film Night

American Journalist Abby Martin has created this documentary film, Earth’s Greatest Enemy. It is a movie that you will never forget.

The Pentagon is the world’s single largest institutional polluter—spewing carbon, contaminating water, and scarring landscapes across the globe. Combining investigative journalism and stories from impacted communities, this film challenges audiences to rethink the hidden costs of a global military empire and its planetary consequences. This documentary will change how you see both the military and the environmental cost of war.

Join the LIFE CAFE for this documentary movie night where we explore and learn together. A community discussion will take place after viewing the film.

FREE. Popcorn and juice will be served.
