Creating the equitable climate future we envision calls us each to identify our unique passions and activate them for the good of our generation and the next. This movement requires us to come as we are. It’s time to act, talk, create, lead, and teach. What is it time for, for you? What are your strengths calling you to do?
It’s time to unite our collective power and continue accelerating solutions to the climate crisis, together. We hope to see you in person or on the virtual livestream!
