climate on tap

When voices from frontline communities speak, truth is made clear and a liberated, climate-just future comes into focus.

Climate on Tap is Taproot Earth’s seven-episode virtual series amplifying the voices of leaders advancing real solutions to the intertwined climate, economic, and political crises of our time. Spanning seven days, this storytelling journey is rooted in Black liberation, Indigenous leadership, and the lived wisdom of frontline communities.

Opening with a sacred remembrance of Hurricanes Katrina and Ida, the series weaves conversation and reflection to illuminate the collective power of those most impacted to shape a future where we can all live, rest, and thrive in the places we love.

EPISODE 7: REST

We rest to honor pauses in our work and movements. Rest is resistance to a system that continues to extract. Rest reimagines our relationship to our labor. Rest allows us to connect with our own humanity and our place on this planet. What can we learn when we slow down?
