Whether it's in your backyard or in the boardroom, there are plenty of ways to get involved and take action this spring.

With the 2021 shareholder season under way, we've included resources for you to vote on a multitude of resolutions affecting people and the planet (if you own stock).

And whether you own stock or not, there are a number of actions you can take to combat corporate irresponsibility by industry leaders like Nike and Amazon. While flowers are blooming and birds are chirping, it's important to remember that workers across the globe are risking their wellbeing in order to provide us with food, clothing, and many other everyday products.

You can also grow your own solution to the climate crisis. Now is the perfect time to learn more about Climate Victory Gardening and how you can start yours.
