BC Libraries Present: Brandi Morin

A series of compelling author talks presented virtually by BC’s Public Library Community

BC Libraries Present is a new virtual author series that brings new insights and voices to people in every corner of British Columbia. BC public libraries, both big and small, host these events and provide access to award-winning authors to library users across the province.

For the inaugural season for this series, the topic is Conversations on Climate. Climate touches everyone’s lives, homes, jobs, and even their reading choices, it was a natural place to start. This series, starting in October will bring 3 compelling voices to present their recent climate-related works to a broad BC audience.

BC Libraries Present — Brandi Morin: On the Frontlines of Indigenous Land Defence

Indigenous communities are on the frontlines of the most devastating climate catastrophes across the world. And they are also leading the most powerful movements to stop the expansion of the fossil fuel industry, major culprits of these disasters.

Brandi Morin risks her freedom to report on these protest movements, and brings us the most critical stories of how people are pushing back against the economic status quo. She will discuss her memoir, Our Voice of Fire, about overcoming adversity to find her purpose as a journalist—and share her experiences reporting on Indigenous activism that is pushing towards a brighter climate future.

She will appear in conversation with Karyn Pugliese, Editor-in-Chief of Canadaland.
