About Climate Defiance:

We started off last spring as a rag-tag group blockading the White House correspondents Dinner. Now we're making Fortune 500 directors resign in disgrace and forcing senior Presidential Advisors to come to the table to negotiate.

We do not go along to get along. We do not sit in cubicles pushing papers around and signing coalition letters. We block doors. We crash galas. We shut down speeches at think tanks and hotels and conferences and fundraisers and Congressional office buildings. We act like our very lives are on the line because they are.  

We do direct action. We get in the face of climate criminals and politicians who enable them, call them out for their misdeeds, and share videos of them fleeing.

And we get results.

• We played a major role in the White House's decision to pause the CP2 LNG project, and freeze approval of all new gas export infrastructure.
• The New York Times has mentioned our group, in multiple articles.
• We have been covered by hundreds of media outlets including The New Republic, InsideClimateNews, the Guardian, Rolling Stone, SF Chronicle, Politico, and The Washington Post.
• We have reached over 70,000,000 impressions on Twitter, organically.
• Deputy Interior Secretary Tommy Beaudreau (who signed Willow) resigned 15 days after we protested him.
• Jody Freeman resigned from Conoco just weeks after we protested her.

Here is the word on the street about us:

Chelsea Handler said Climate Defiance is "the best new, nonpartisan group that goes after politicians on both sides in the U.S."

Steven Donziger said: "They do what is needed better than just about any group in the world. Climate Defiance has shown time and again the ability to execute effectively on the strategy of disruptive activism and to reach millions of people in the process."

Congressman Ro Khanna said about our group: "You have gotten the country's attention...People in Congress are talking about you. Senators are talking about you. The President is talking about you. And remember this, the future is with you.”

Dinner will be provided.
