Fossil Free Fest
Fossil Free Fest (FFF) is an organizing initiative to imagine and plan a Fossil Free Culture, the centerpiece of which is a three-day public festival. Set for April 6 through 8––during the month of the anniversary of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Earth Day, and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival Presented by Shell––FFF invites arts workers, industry workers, educators, funders, and the general public to participate in roundtable conversations, keynotes, film screenings, and workshops by local and national artists and activists involved in successful divestment activities.
