This looks like a scene from a movie.
But it's our real lives.
Floods. Fires. Hurricanes. Heat that won’t break.
If it feels like your season was stolen — you’re not alone.
Be part of the real story.
Stolen Summers

The Tour
It’s a countrywide, traveling art installation honoring the people, places, things and way of life stolen from us by extreme weather. We’re matching artists with survivors to create 30 movie sized posters representing the 30 million Americans who now say that “extreme weather has significantly harmed their lives.”
