Does it feel weird celebrating America's 250th Birthday when things are amiss? Stolen Summers: The Next 250, an action-driven art installation and storytelling event held in front of the U.S. Capitol, offered a nuanced way to observe the milestone.
Hosted by @extremeweathersurvivors, the event featured about two dozen stories, including dramatic readings of true tales of climate-supercharged wildfires, hurricanes, floods, and their aftermath by a group of actors that featured @arianmoayed of Succession and @wendellpcg of The Wire. One of the last stories shared came from Moms’ former intern, Aidan Goldberg, whose brother collapsed on a run in 100-plus degree Tucson heat.
Follow along as Kids Clean Air Force member Margot and her mom check out the event.
