Get involved however you can! And if you’re a member of a climate-focused group not listed here, let us know. One of the topics discussed at this teach-in was the need for communities and organizations to work together and collaborate toward change.
We came up with two concrete avenues for collaboration in the near future:
1) Planning early for the global climate march this September
2) Creating a collective calendar that notes local climate-related events
