There is a groundswell of action as citizens of all ages struggle to address the problem--some commit civil disobedience or move money out of fossil fuels.In Common Ground, veteran Quaker activist, facilitator, and teacher Eileen Flanagan takes us on a personal journey through her environmental direct-action experiences as well as her relationships with community elders to understand how we can form coalitions to actually make a difference. Flanagan shows that "the illusion of separation" is at the root of interlocking environmental crises and that it's often politicians and corporations who benefit by keeping the rest of us divided across lines of race, class, religion, and generation. But we are at a new moment in human history.Amid the chaos and conflict of our times, people are stretching their hands across old divides and are ready to take action. In Common Ground, Flanagan argues that more than technology or even elections, acting in solidarity with all life is humanity's best hope for survival.Eileen Flanagan brings a forty-year commitment to justice to her speaking, writing, and climate leadership. From a working-class Irish American family, she has confronted corporate CEOs, prayed in their lobbies, and been arrested alongside Indigenous water protectors, Black preachers, and fellow Quakers. Nationally known for helping people to make their activism more effective and spiritually-grounded, she shepherded a scrappy group of Quakers to pressure a $4 billion-a-year bank to stop financing mountaintop removal coal mining. She earned a BA from Duke and an MA from Yale as a first-generation college-student, focusing on resistance to colonialism, which she taught on the college level. The Dalai Lama endorsed her award-winning book The Wisdom to Know the Difference, and some of the best-known climate activists in the world endorsed her memoir Renewable. She lives with her husband on Lenape land in Philadelphia.*Feel free to call Village Books and Paper Dreams for further assistance at 360-671-2626!* - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/bellingham/eileen-flanagan-common-ground/100001479038015519 - **Event Categories**: art, theatre, workshops, sports, public-speaking - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Feileen-flanagan-common-ground-tickets-1479038015519 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 6.24, max: 26.12, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Bellingham - **state**: WA - **country**: United States - **location**: Village Books and Paper Dreams - **lat**: 48.72072500000001 - **long**: -122.503588 - **full address**: Village Books and Paper Dreams, 1200 11th Street, Bellingham, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Village Books (https://allevents.in/org/village-books/22514161) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/f95feaa63acd40712f44e058b3d7d1b0b02dfc7c9da2d642d1a5be7fa296c0c2-rimg-w1200-h600-dc749664-gmir.jpg?v=1752449411 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/0723b7a5c8066481e3fda357d1f431c35fd563890ce5d57fdeafc52a42bf5697-rimg-w400-h400-dcc4d2d4-gmir.jpg?v=1752449410 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Thu, 28 Aug, 2025 at 06:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Village Books and Paper Dreams, 1200 11th Street, Bellingham, United States - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 6.24 up to 26.12 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Village Books - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, theatre, workshops, sports, public-speaking - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Eileen Flanagan- Common Ground ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Eileen Flanagan- Common Ground", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/f95feaa63acd40712f44e058b3d7d1b0b02dfc7c9da2d642d1a5be7fa296c0c2-rimg-w1200-h600-dc749664-gmir.jpg?v=1752449411", "startDate": "2025-08-28", "endDate": "2025-08-28", "url": "https://allevents.in/bellingham/eileen-flanagan-common-ground/100001479038015519", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Village Books and Paper Dreams", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "1200 11th Street", "postalCode": "98225", "addressLocality": "Bellingham", "addressRegion": "WA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "48.72072500000001", "longitude": "-122.503588" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join Eileen Flanagan to discuss the crises our world faces today, and how acting in solidarity with all life is humanity's best hope.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-03", "availabilityEnds": "2025-08-28", "validFrom": "2026-04-03", "lowPrice": "6.24", "highPrice": "26.12", "price": "6.24", "url": "https://allevents.in/bellingham/eileen-flanagan-common-ground/100001479038015519" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-03", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-03", "url": "https://allevents.in/bellingham/eileen-flanagan-common-ground/100001479038015519", "price": "6.24", "name": "General Admission" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-03", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-03", "url": "https://allevents.in/bellingham/eileen-flanagan-common-ground/100001479038015519", "price": "26.12", "name": "Book/Reservation combo" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Village Books", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/village-books/22514161" } ] } ] ```
