Climate change is here now. What we do today matters. Your involvement in the movement matters.
This program is designed to help you take climate action through the support of a community. You will be placed in a small group aka a "crew" and meet weekly in the month of April. There will be two follow up meetings (one in May and one in June). Each crew will have a facilitator to guide the group’s discussions and each week there will be a call to action!
There are 3 crews: A Chicago-based crew, a DC-based crew, and a virtual crew.
WHO SHOULD JOIN: Anyone that is “climate curious,” a “climate expert,” or something in between! We are looking to have meaningful conversations where participants can learn from one another and be inspired to take action.
WHY JOIN: Thinking about climate change can feel overwhelming, so join a crew to meet and learn from others. See how your individual action is amplified when you are with a crew. We will give you practical calls to action.
WHEN IS CCC: Crews meet Tuesdays during the month of April (4/4, 4/11, 4/18, 4/25), once in May (5/23), and once in June (6/20). There will be 6 meetings in total. Crews meet at 4pm PT / 5pm MT, 6pm CT / 7pm ET for 75 minutes.
WHERE DOES CCC MEET: Chicago and DC-based crews will meet in person 3 times and online 3 times. The virtual crew will meet online for all 6 meetings. The online meetings will take place on Zoom.
