“Building Ground was such a re-energizing experience. It centered my passions and led me to see tangible outlets for the work I wish to pursue. Working with other passionate folks helped me feel supported and provided me a space within the larger climate movement community.”
These times demand that we build powerful and loving social movements that are strong enough to confront and overcome the systems which have created the climate crisis. With the impending urgency of this climate crisis and the lack of leadership in our federal government, and at a time when various movements for justice around the world are uniting to work together, this is the moment for each of us to step more fully into our own leadership and power.
This requires our taking the time to deepen our skills and analysis as activists, leaders, and organizers, and to build connections so we can confront this crisis with the boldness, creativity, resilience, and love that we need.
“Thank you for opening my eyes to my own possibilities and for opening my heart to others who share my goals and concerns.”
