Ah yes, Super Tuesday. The State of the Union. The pollsters and pundits have started to show up more and more in our news feeds, but it's not a cause for despair.?This week, our mantra is: "do more, worry less."?
The timing and strategy of the current Climate Ambition Action Plan is not a coincidence.?Elected officials have tuned their ears to the priorities of voters, and they know we have the power to hold them accountable.?Try not to give up that power by doomscrolling and sitting on the sidelines.
Drop into an?Hour of Action?this week or knock out one of these step-by-step playbooks anytime to cue some confetti.?

ACTION PLAN: WEEK 3 of 5???? Directly dial-up "climate ambition"

PUTTING CLIMATE ON THE AGENDA ? The climate tech community showed up!
Fact: it can take as few as 10 constituent emails to put an issue on a policymaker’s agenda—so you can bet climate action will be on our reps’ agendas this week! Seventy-four changemakers from the climate tech community listened into a conversation with incredible guest speakers, Cody Simms of MCJ and Shomik Dutta of Overture , then did something about it.
POLICYMAKER REQUEST????
"...I wish more people were pushing on climate so that I could focus all my time and energy there..."
This is part of a quote from a city councilor who joined an Hour of Action. See the full quote in the blog! It's more proof that climate champions want to hear from us, climate obstructionists need to hear from us, and wherever we live, each one of us has the power to directly dial up the “climate ambition” of our elected officials.?
