Welcome to the FFF+* Map Slack Solidarity project!

Solidarity: The key word in all progressive social movements: Labor rights, racial justice, gender justice, religious freedom, climate justice.

We are dedicated to building unity, mutual support, friendship and strength in the climate movement by supporting local activist and their groups.

We lift voices that too often go unheard—activists and groups working in isolation—and by doing so strength those voices and the climate movement as a whole.

In isolation we are weak, together we are strong.

We connect the online climate movement with the on-the-ground climate movement by sharing local climate actions on social media. We use social media to strengthen on-the-ground climate activism.

Please join us! It will take fifteen minutes of your time per week. There are lots of local groups that need stewarding (that’s our term for our volunteer’s work) and stewarding is easy to do. If you don't have 15 min/week then please Donate Euro or Donate USD.

This work is pleasant and rewarding. You’ll work with one or more groups around the world and connect them to the global climate activist network and will increase solidarity in the global climate movement.

To find out how to join our project, send an email to Ken Batts at kenbatts1@gmail.com, and accept our Fridays for Future Vision proposal. Here's a link to the complete How to Join document:

How to Join the FFF+ Solidarity Project

Welcome to the Solidarity Project!

The Map Solidarity Team

Below you will find a complete manual to our project and links to the documents you'll need.

FFF+ MapSlack Solidarity Project Manual

We find local climate groups, share and record their actions—demonstrations, marches, workshops, tree planting, community clean-ups, education, etc.— and appreciate and support them through social media.

Social media is not perfect but it is the most widely accessible medium. For MAPA—Most Affected Peoples and Areas—it is often the only alternative. Therefore, when trying to build a truly global network, social media is the best choice.

The information we record is sent to this map:

And here is the same information in list form (listed by country and locale):

Our volunteers are either stewards or guides.

Stewards share the posts of one or more local groups, record their groups' actions in our database, and express encouragement and appreciation. Stewarding takes just a few minutes a week.

The manual for stewarding is here:

Being a Steward in the FFF+ Map Slack Solidarity Project

Every volunteer is asked to steward up to five groups. Once you've been a steward for a while, you might consider becoming a guide. Guiding will also take a few minutes a week.

Guides train and support stewards. The manual for guiding is here:

Being a Guide in the FFF+ Map Slack Solidarity Project

In order to maintain a connection to the whole project, guides are asked to steward at least a couple of groups.

We want to put all local climate groups on the map, lift their voices, help them find and communicate with each other, and let the world know about their work. We can use the map to show journalists the vast extent of local climate action.

Thanks for your interest! For questions/comments, contact info is below.

Links to translations (they are computer translations). I'm sure they aren't great but hopefully they are mostly readable. Hopefully we can get actual translations soon.
