NEWSLETTER HIGHLIGHTS
NEW ACTION PLAN
?? As a climate movement, there’s a lot on our side –?and our steady, ongoing civic participation matters more than ever. Right now, the most productive thing we can do is find the millions of climate-concerned Americans who are not yet taking action and build power to meet this moment.??
NEW BLOG POST???? How to match the influence of fossil fuel lobbyists on policymakers
"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."??
COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT?????? New facilitator training sessions
Interested in helping other people take action on climate.?If not you, then who? Action Team hosts?are creating go-to?spaces where impactful climate action happens. Get equipped with everything you need to kick off a successful Hour of Action in your city.

MONDAY MOTIVATION????
“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.” ? — Henry David Thoreau
