The LWV of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties is proud to present a viewing of "The Letter: A Message for Our Earth".

This PBS documentary tells the story of Pope Francis' call to care for our planet. In 2015, the Pope wrote Laudato Si, a letter to every single person in the world, confronting the looming calamity of human impact on Earth and ourselves. It is one of the most ambitious and revolutionary papel statements in history, since it is directed not just to Catholics, but to everyone on the planet and it outlines the most critical environmental and social issues that we collectively face.

There are four voices that Pope Francis calls specifically for in Laudato Si, the voice of the Poor, the Indigenous, the Youth and Wildlife. Voices that are too often not listened to in today's world. We witness a series of letters exit the Vatican, traveling across the globe, to Senegal, Brazil, India and Hawaii. These are invitations to the remarkable human beings to an unprecedented dialogue with the Pope. A dialogue where we became caretakers of this planet we call home.

See the PBS website for more on the film  film info.

The film is 80 minutes long. All League members and their guests are welcome.

We look forward to seeing you there and we still recommend the use of masks for everyone's safety.
