Island Press Chat with Cate Mingoya and Stacy Eisenstark: Climate Action for Busy People

Join us via Zoom for a conversation with Cate Mingoya-LaFortune, author of Island Press book Climate Action for Busy People. In her book, Cate acknowledges that large-scale innovations in policy and technology are necessary to preserve the planet, but shows how the wisest and most lasting adaptation solutions originate at the local level. Each chapter helps readers scale up their actions, from identifying climate solutions that an individual or small group can pull off in a handful of weekends, like tree plantings or depaving parties, to advocating for change at the municipal level through coalition-building and data collection. It’s not too late for people of all ages and skill levels to create climate resilient communities.  

You can RSVP (for free!) HERE! Hope to see you there!

TWENTY SUMMERS X ATMOS GATHERING: Embodied Activism

There is no separating equality from ecology, which knows that no member of any natural system has more value than another. In a world of polycrises, what does it mean for activism to be a daily necessity? How can we more deeply integrate it into our lives, allowing our values to shape a more fulfilling and joyful existence? This discussion will bring together advocates who are reframing how we talk about social and environmental justice—and what it means to be an embodied activist.
