With “An Inconvenient
Truth,” former vice president
Al Gore brought
the climate crisis into
the living rooms of nearly every
American. More than a decade
later, the Nobel Laureate returns

Sequel: Truth to Power,” an
inspirational narrative of what change in
action looks like across the globe and how
each person has the potential to play a part.
From hurricanes to forest fires to a rapidly
melting Arctic, Gore’s renewed call to action
has been heralded for its integral role in the
movement to stabilize our climate and rescue
our planet for generations to come. Dec. 7,
7:30-8:30 p.m. Tickets $15-$50. Aragon
