Millions of Americans are concerned about climate change but are still sitting on the sidelines. ?? Specifically... 28% of Americans would take political action on climate – if asked by someone they like and respect.* Each of us knows at least a few people in that 28%! ? That means you – and only you – have the power to tug a few friends off the sidelines with a simple ask. ? ?? This playbook guides you through the process of extending an authentic and personal invitation to 3-5 key people in your network: https://lnkd.in/g4-m7CxR Do this on your own time or drop into any Hour of Action to co-work with fellow busy, productive people. *Source: Yale Program on Climate Change Communication & Center for Climate Change Communication, George Mason University Climate Change in the American Mind: Politics & Policy, Spring 2024: report (https://lnkd.in/gNXqByXQ)

"One of the most consistent takeaways offered by political experts is the need to invest in civic participation between the boom and bust of election cycles.... for every 5-7 fossil fuel lobbyists, there is currently only one environmental lobbyist. The good news: With no special expertise, we can close this gap and tip the scales in the direction of climate action."? Read more: https://lnkd.in/gkUqnXSK

Voters upheld a landmark climate bill and that's?a hopeful sign—no matter where you live.?Washington State's cap-and-invest program survived a repeal referendum with overwhelming support (62% vs 38%).
