Climate Changemakers

The last 36 hours we’ve been collaborating with an amazing crew to help *fling open the doors* of the Climate Changemakers Slack and become the ✨climate movement’s home base and hub for electing Kamala and climate champions up and down the ballot!✨ Shout out to Laura Comer and ‪Jamie Henn for helping make it happen! And to Leah Stokes and so many iconic climate leaders for pulling together an outstanding event last night. When a fundraiser for climate champions has 30,000 RSVPs? 🪩 You make sure every attendee knows where they can go NEXT to keep up the momentum. THIS is the climate vote. 🤗 Join us in Slack: https://lnkd.in/gDP-HN2U We’ll be organizing and taking productive, strategic action for the next 100+ days – and for all the days that come next. 👊 #climatemovement #climateactionnow #climatecommunity #climatecandidates #theclimatevote #changemakers #climateleaders #kamalaisbrat #environmentalistvoter #evp

Over 30,000 folks signed up, and Climate Changemakers is thrilled to open our doors and serve as the home base Slack for all the climate advocacy that comes NEXT!  🎉 In collaboration with tonight’s event organizers, all attendees will receive a link to join our incredible, thriving, nationwide Slack community of climate advocates. Climate Changemakers was built for this moment. Are we about to log into the biggest climate campaign kickoff event ever!? Join us at 5p PT / 8p ET to talk climate, Kamala Harris, down-ballot climate champions, and what it looks like to #DoMoreThanVote!  🔥 Shout out to everyone who already RSVPed to the event and THANK YOU to the organizers, hosts, and collaborators on tonight’s fundraiser: Bill McKibben, Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, Leah Stokes, Ed Markey for U.S. Senate, Jade Begay, Saad Amer, Donnel Baird, Tom Soto, Fawn Sharp, Roishetta Sibley Ozane, M.S., Ning Mosberger-Tang, Clean Energy Leaders, our dear friends at Climate Cabinet Action, and more... Special thanks to Laura Comer, Ryan Mann, and the other volunteer moderators who will be helping welcome folks into our Slack community this week! Let’s do this. 👊

This might be the biggest news in U.S. policy that the media is just not talking about... 'Lil shout out to all the members of our advocacy network ✨and across the climate movement✨who advocated consistently to help pass the #InflationReductionAct in 2022. This is what they call, "The most ambitious climate law in U.S. history" And this👇 is some of the tangible and tremendous climate progress we're already seeing, along with some of the major impacts we *could* see soon if #Project2025 fails to repeal these essential climate policies. 🚨 MOST Americans are not familiar with the IRA -- however, Yale Program on Climate Change Communication research showed that those who read about it (even a brief description!) are instantly in support. That's what we want. A more informed, civically engaged public. Share this post with some friends who want to hear good climate news! 💌 📲 For a deeper dive on the IRA and ways to level up your own climate advocacy effort, here's our current Action Plan: https://lnkd.in/gHagnF7h #ira #inflationreductionact #climateprogress #climatejustice #environmentaljustice #cleantech #decarbonization #urbanfarming #sustainability #solarenergy #nationalsecurity #madeintheusa #usamade #conservation #environmentalist #talkclimate #climateadvocacy

What's up in your neck of the woods...? 🌲 🚶♀️ In the South, the #InflationReductionAct is funding a $36 million project to make Montgomery, Alabama more walkable. 🌞 In the Midwest, Missouri was awarded $156 million to fund low-income solar. 🔌 In the West, Mountain West tribes received funding to electrify their homes. 🍠 In the Northeast, farmers in Pennsylvania are reaching their sustainable agriculture goals. Climate Changemakers pulled together a ✨ list of over 50 news articles✨with stories of local climate progress catalyzed directly by the IRA – and that list continues to grow! 👀 Click on the big purple button here: https://lnkd.in/g8Hwx9M6 Have you heard of the IRA? Most Americans haven’t. We need to change that. The #IRA is catalyzing tremendous climate progress with good things happening *everywhere* in America. Skim that one-pager for a snapshot then, importantly, share it! 👊 #climateprogress #climateaction #cleantech #cleanenergyfuture #domesticmanufacturing #usamade #americanmade #solarenergy #electrifyeverything #sustainableagriculture #environmentalism #walkablecities
