Join Project Dandelion March 20: Every Issue Is A Climate Issue

Dear Readers,

From California to New York, Iceland to London, Geneva to South Africa, Nepal to Indonesia, and so many places in between, Project Dandelion supporters (“dandelions”) celebrated International Women’s Day “seeding” new leaders to prioritize the climate and nature crisis, and join Project Dandelion activations like the one coming up this week on March 20.

Why March 20? It’s the halfway point between International Women’s Day and Earth Day, and a good day to amplify the call for women’s leadership on the intersectional issues of our time — gender equality and solving the climate and nature emergency — that are threatening a sustainable future on Mother Earth.

Mark March 20 on your calendar and join Project Dandelion for a day of action on social media. All the assets you need to participate are below. Please let me know you’ve posted on Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook by tagging me @patmitchellmedia

EVERY ISSUE IS A CLIMATE ISSUE

SAMPLE COPY 1 (INSTAGRAM/LINKEDIN/FACEBOOK) Fact: Women and girls are disproportionately impacted by the climate crisis. Without urgent climate action, they will continue to carry the burden. Between now and #EarthDay, we’re joining @projdandelion to spread the word that EVERY issue is a climate issue. Go to?projectdandelion.com?and learn from experts how the #climatecrisis impacts issues like #genderequality, #girlsrights, #genderbasedviolence, #menstrualjustice, #genderrights, #girlseducation, #childmarriage and more.

SAMPLE COPY 2 (X/TWITTER) Unless we solve the climate crisis, we won’t solve any of the issues we care about. We’re honored to join @projdandelion as they launch a new series featuring experts explaining why every issue is a climate issue. Go to?projectdandelion.com?to learn & stay tuned for more.
