The Power of One: A Celebration of Earth Day at UC Santa Cruz
In honor of Earth Day, The Power of One brings together the campus and the community for a unique blend of film, dialogue, and environmental stewardship.
The program begins Friday evening with a special campus screening of The Power of One documentary and a panel discussion featuring filmmakers Alex Valdez and Pablo De la Fuente. They will explore how storytelling and individual agency can inspire meaningful social and environmental change, with a focus on ecological justice and sustainability.
The experience continues Saturday morning with a habitat enhancement project along the San Lorenzo River in partnership with the Coastal Watershed Council, followed by the option to participate in Earth Day festivities in downtown Santa Cruz. Together, these activities are designed to turn inspiration into action – demonstrating how the power of one can become the power of many in caring for our planet.
This event is free and open to the public. UCSC students are especially encouraged to attend. Light refreshments will be served. RSVP today!
