Movie poster for 'Cooked, Survival by Zip Code'.The North Parish Climate Justice Group is screening the documentary “Cooked: Survival by Zipcode” on Tuesday, September 24, at 7 pm at the North Andover Historical Society.
We would love to have you join us.

What: Chicago suffered the worst heat disaster in U.S history in 1995, when 739 residents—mostly elderly and black—died over the course of one week. As COOKED: Survival by Zip Code links the deadly heat wave’s devastation back to the underlying manmade disaster of structural racism, it delves deep into one of our nation’s biggest growth industries: Disaster Preparedness.

When: Tuesday, September 24, 2024 at 7 pm.

Where: The net-zero North Andover Historical Society Stevens Center (map), 800 Massachusetts Ave, North Andover

Why: Summer, 2024 was the hottest on record, replacing Summer, 2023. Extreme heat causes more deaths than any other extreme weather, according to the National Weather Service (over the last 30 years)

RSVP here:  There is no charge for admission
