An essential element of building political power for our movement is electing bold, progressive climate activists to office at all levels. That could be you! Come to a unique cross-movement climate candidate training, the day after the People’s Climate March in our nation’s capital.
The climate movement is rooted in the pursuit of justice in a world being torn apart by a global system of exploitation and oppression. It's time for our politics to reflect our principles.
Getting elected to local office can lead to tremendous victories for climate justice, whether by stopping an export coal terminal, divesting a city pension fund from fossil fuels, helping front-line communities recover from climate disasters, or by establishing programs to invest in green jobs to build resilient, renewable infrastructure.
This one-day candidate training will be the first of many steps you can take to dismantle fossil-fueled oppression and build a just and sustainable society.
