Upcoming Webcast: Collective Community Action for Climate Solutions
|

Join us on October 2 at 2pm ET for a special Let’s Talk Climate episode. Climate solutions can be driven by community leaders, by active grassroots organizations, or better yet, by both together. The business community, local congregations, and the health community can be supportive or not. How do we bring all of these forces together to move our communities and policymakers toward effective action for climate solutions? Learn success stories from ALL 3 of ecoAmerica’s program directors on building coalitions of support for climate action through diverse and inclusive engagement.
