As part of NYC Homecoming Week, a citywide celebration, the Climate Museum team welcomed visitors to House 18 in Nolan Park on Governors Island.

BEYOND LIES LAUNCH EVENT

We launched Beyond Lies on Governors Island with trained student ambassadors, social justice maestro Dr. Drum and his bandmates, experts fielding visitors’ questions, and many of you! The launch of Chalabi’s work and the campaign website occasioned a wave of climate conversations about how we can end the influence of fossil fuel disinformation in our climate policy. Huge thanks to all who joined in making the launch an exceptionally memorable, meaningful, and lively event.
