From Severn Cullis-Suzuki:
It’s been 30 years since the UN’s Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, where I addressed delegates. I was 12 years old, and my six-minute speech was recorded and shared around the world.
In preparation for the summit, my parents Tara Cullis and David Suzuki and their friends wrote The Declaration of Interdependence: A Pledge to Planet Earth. It was integrated into conference outcomes, and expresses the David Suzuki Foundation’s fundamental values to this day.
The event will feature:
- Reflections from me and my parents Tara Cullis and David Suzuki
- An exclusive screening of Amka Film’s Only a Child, shortlisted for an Oscar
- A panel discussion with inspirational young leaders, including Sadie Vipond, one of 15 La Rose v. Her Majesty the Queen climate plaintiffs
- Jennifer Alicia, two-time national poetry slam champion and member of Seeds & Stardust Poetry Collective
- Juno Award–winning musician Dan Mangan
- Chief Gidansda Guujaaw, one of The Declaration of Interdependence co-writers
…and more!
Please join on Monday, June 6, from 7 to 8:15 p.m. Eastern to commemorate this anniversary, reflect on the past 30 years of activism and look ahead to the next 30. Registration & more information are here.
