Can You Hear Us? Campaign
|

Following the release of Hulu’s Original Documentary I Am Greta, Exposure Labs (The Social Dilemma, Chasing Coral) and YEA! Impact (Hollywood Climate Summit) launched an impact campaign to promote global youth-led climate action that is intergenerational, intersectional, inclusive, and accessible. Inspired by the film’s protagonist Greta Thunberg and in partnership with the film’s producers BR•F, the Can You Hear Us? campaign aims to uplift other young activists who are paving the way in the climate justice movement and encourage cogeneration in the climate space.
Currently, the campaign is becoming bilingual (English-Spanish) and plans to utilize its resulting materials among local Hispanic and Latinx networks ahead of the midterm elections in the United States.
The campaign formed a coalition with over sixty partners and has several resources to take action:

Manzanar, Diverted: When Water Becomes Dust
|

The impact goals of Manzanar, Diverted: When Water Becomes Dust is to expose racist motivations for forced removals as a means to control and extract resources, build an inclusive and diverse global environmental justice community, and deepen understanding of the value of water and land management, through education, empowerment, and healing. The priority regions are communities with vibrant Native American and Japanese American communities, Native American reservations and Japanese American concentration camps.
Our community screenings followed the LA aqueduct with a 4-stop Payahuunadü/Owens Valley tour and a 3-stop LA tour during Summer-Fall 2021. Prior to the July 18, 2022 POV broadcast on PBS, we organized a Day of Action called “Manzanar, Diverted: Converging Conversations” with over 10 community organizations joining across the nation. Simultaneously, we launched the interactive website, an archive-rich destination for educational curriculum, tool kits, film clips, the interactive map and an AR visual sound bath meditation experience (spring 2023). With over 24 organizational partners, 64 climate activists, 28 film festival screenings, 22 community screenings, we are now embarking on the educational roll out.

My Garden of a Thousand Bees
|

To extend the reach of My Garden of a Thousand Bees, HHMI Tangled Bank Studios and PBS Nature launched the #PlantWildflowers impact campaign to highlight the importance of native bees and encourage community-driven pollinator conservation in the United States. The campaign worked from the simple premise that through actions as easy and fun as planting wildflowers, anyone anywhere can create important habitats for local bees.
The #PlantWildflowers impact campaign is a unique example of how accessible, localized calls to action from informal educators can drive meaningful community action in service of conservation. The core of this effort took place from October 2021-September 2022 and included partnerships with more than 400 organizations, including 283 public libraries, 103 schools, 30 conservation organizations and festivals, and five key PBS stations. These partners were provided a suite of materials and engaged their respective communities to distribute and plant up to 1.8M square feet (or 42 acres) of native wildflowers. Local partners hosted more than 700 events, including screenings, seed plantings, bioblitzes, science education workshops, community organizing webinars and other pollinator-related events in all 50 US states.
My Garden of a Thousand Bees is available to watch for free online in the United States on PBS.org, and all #PlantWildflowers materials are available to download for free at MyGardenofaThousandBees.com. Here’s how you can help support your local pollinators:
