This is a virtual event
Struggling to integrate racial justice into climate communications? Caught between urgency and hopelessness? Unsure how to move people from shock to action as climate disasters escalate? This workshop is your solution.
You'll dive into research-backed messaging strategies that successfully weave racial justice into climate campaigns. But we won't stop at theory – you'll put these messages into practice.
Through guided exercises, you'll craft compelling narratives for various contexts:
- Public energy initiatives
- Climate disaster response
- Community-based solutions
You'll also connect with fellow organizers, sharing insights and brainstorming solutions to use at the ballot box, in the statehouse, and in the streets. By the end, you'll have a practical toolkit for turning research into action, ready to build the narrative power needed to shape a just and sustainable future.
Join us to hone your climate justice communication skills in the midst of a chaotic election season and beyond. Together, we'll bridge the gap between research and action, crafting messages that not only inform but inspire and mobilize people around a safe climate future. Let's create the change our communities need.
Workshop Goals:
- Increase your familiarity with the Mobilizing Toward Climate Justice messaging research
- Practice using this research in your climate justice campaigns and community-based projects.
Engagement Commitment:
This workshop is interactive - not a standard webinar or lecture - and includes small group discussions, participatory activities, and Q&A. Signing up means that you are ready to dedicate two hours entirely to the workshop.
