Friends,

We just had the largest climate mobilization in history. Over 7.6 million
people worldwide joined the Global Climate Strike September 20th-27th.
There were over 1,200 strike actions across the U.S., and guess what? A
few hundred of them were hosted by local 350 groups and volunteers. 

Mobilization moments like the Climate Strike are an exciting opportunity
to show how big, beautiful and diverse the movement for climate justice
is. But the work of community organizing is ongoing. Right now, volunteers
in over 160 local 350 groups around the U.S. are activating neighbors,
campaigning to stop fossil fuel projects and advance just solutions, and
building coalitions in their communities.

The next step after the strikes is to organize in your local community.

the fight for climate justice?

Local 350 groups and their partners are doing the essential work of making
change at the local level. As you know, individual action is important,
but given the scale of the crisis it is not remotely enough. That’s why we
need to organize and take action together. This is the only way we’re
going to achieve the transformative changes that are necessary in the
short timeline science and justice demand.

I understand how daunting it can feel to contemplate getting involved for
the first time. When I first started volunteering with 350 Maine about 5
years ago, I had little idea what I was doing. But I saw that 350 Maine
and their coalition partners had just won a major victory preventing the
export of tar sands oil from South Portland. There is tremendous power in
collective action! That’s why I want to invite you to connect to the local
350 group closest to you, or to start a new group.

If you haven’t already done so, please take the next step and start
organizing for climate justice in your neighborhood, town or city. [ [link removed] ]Sign

you start one.

Let’s keep going,
