Climate Action Alliance of the Valley is hosting Erik Curren, author of Abolish Oil Now! Abolitionists Beat Slavery and Can Beat Climate Change, for an author talk and book signing at Eastern Mennonite University on Thursday, Jan. 20 at 7 p.m.

Curren, also the author of The Solar Patriot, is a climate activist and history buff who applies lessons from the past to the world’s biggest challenge today, transitioning to a clean economy.

The event will happen in person on campus at the EMU Suter Science Center in Swartzendruber Hall, Harrisonburg.

Organizations co-sponsoring it, in addition to CAAV, include EMU’s Center for Sustainable Climate Solutions, 50by25 Harrisonburg, Shenandoah Faith and Climate, Sierra Club/Shenandoah Group, and Virginia Interfaith Power and Light.
