This month we’ll be watching “Duty of Care: the Climate Trials.” Meet Roger Cox, the first and only lawyer to have successfully sued both a government and an oil giant in court to establish that climate inaction can be made illegal. His ground-breaking case against the Dutch government and oil giant Royal Dutch Shell has been foundational in determining that even private entities owe a duty of care to citizens to avoid catastrophic climate change, which stunned, legal experts and sent shockwaves through parliaments and corporate boardrooms around the world. This is a 2022 documentary.

Run time: 56 minutes

Look for us upstairs at BLOC Coffee Company, 3101 Price Ave. in Price Hill (Cincinnati). Come to discuss, come with questions or come to listen. This is your community, this is our democracy. No RSVP necessary.

Rights of Nature is a concept deeply rooted in traditional indigenous knowledge. We, concerned residents of the Ohio River Watershed Ecosystem, have a compelling obligation to protect each other and the living ecosystem of which we are a part. Clean, safe water is imperative for all life and for our collective security. To protect the Ohio River Watershed Ecosystem and to empower its communities, we must rethink our environmental laws and policies.

Come find our what democracy looks like.
