This week’s post by Jane Zelikova and Jewel Tomasula
This week, we are continuing to act on climate. Protests, marches, strikes, peaceful civil disobedience, and other organized actions are all important tactics for creating and sustaining bold climate actions and solutions. Beyond those tactics, stories hold power to help us imagine what is possible and inspire action. Stories connect us to each other, help invoke empathy, and bring curiosity and emotion into the often sterile climate space.
Here are some suggestions for building your climate storytelling capabilities #myclimatestory:
Organize a climate storytelling event - partner with an org like Our Climate Stories and check out our climate storytelling event organizing cheat-sheet
Build your public speaking capabilities with these resources
Anyone can volunteer to organize an action on Earth Day 2020
Most importantly, don’t shy away from talking about climate change - its the most powerful way we can change the dialog around this global crisis
