Join Citizen's Soapbox Today at St. Philip's Parish House
Saturday, March 18th from 2-4pm
Join Citizen's Soapbox at St. Philip's Parish House in Garrison.
The group will be dedicating a good portion of the meeting to discussing carbon pricing, which was voted as the most urgent and important issue to bring to our federal representatives to move our country in a positive direction.
Take a look at this draft memo outlining a recent Carbon Dividends proposal and read this Statement of Support. We hope to discuss the merits of this approach as a group and develop a strategy for future action.
You can find Citizen's Soapbox on Facebook or send an email to longhaulny at gmail dot com for further information.
Tell Your Climate Story
Friday, March 17th
(Adapted from Jen Hofmann's Checklist for Americans of Conscience)
Action For Today: Tell your climate story.
Stories change minds. Our Climate Voices is seeking first-person narratives about how climate change impacts your local community to be shared in their newsletter and website. If climate change affects you where you live, consider telling your story.
Climate change is affecting our communities and our spaces now. When the collective impact of climate change disproportionately affects the world’s poor, women, and people of color, it is illogical--and immoral--that only a select few have the platform to speak out on environmental injustice. Our voices are vital for fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to the climate change dialogue.
