The Midwest is Rising to the Challenge

We’re excited about this work – and are looking forward to training our newest cohort of committed climate activists taking action for our planet from August 2-4 in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota.

At the training, we’ll explore how this is a critical moment – a tipping point – for the climate crisis in the region and beyond.

Across the state, communities are seeing higher temperatures, more extreme weather, and changes to cherished natural wonders. And these effects will only become more pronounced unless we act boldly to slash greenhouse gas emissions.

But Minnesotans are already stepping up and tackling the climate crisis head-on. In fact, the Twin Cities have committed to transitioning to 100 percent renewable electricity by 2030.

This makes it the perfect setting for one of our signature three-day training events. Join us to gain the tools, knowledge, and network to mobilize your community and work for real climate solutions.

This intensive three-day event provides individuals ready to make a difference in our planet’s future with the tools, knowledge, and networks to mobilize communities and catalyze real climate solutions.
