The outcome of this election will have grave consequences for the United States and the world. With the climate crisis becoming more dire, the stakes have only grown. Now, more than ever, we must fight for and deliver on climate policy you can touch – real climate and economic outcomes that make people’s everyday lives better. As progressives work to understand these new conditions, there are important discussions on how to double down on building the power for policies that take on the status quo of billionaire accumulation, climate breakdown, and unending war and create a future that the multiracial working class deserves and will fight for.
Join Climate and Community Institute leaders on December 9th from 4-5pm EST for a conversation about the 2024 election results and where to go from here to rebuild the Climate Left. We’ll discuss our reflections on a shifting political field and how to push on the offense for our collective vision while defending our allies against hate and violence.
Panelists will include:
Johanna Bozuwa, Executive Director, Climate and Community Institute
Thea Riofrancos, Associate Professor at Providence College and Strategic Co-Director at Climate and Community Institute
Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò, Associate Professor at Georgetown University and Fellow at Climate and Community Institute
Batul Hassan, Labor Director, Climate and Community Institute

of key climate races and ballot measures up and down the ballot, with a
first look at prospects for climate hawks and clean energy champions.
Donald Trump will be returning to the White House in 2025. It’s up to us
to build the movement that will fight for each other over the next four
years.

The 2024 election will define the future of climate policy, at every
level of government. What happened? What do the results mean? And where
do we go from here?
Join Climate Cabinet November
6th,
at 9:30 AM PT / 12:30 PM
ET as our data scientists and political experts analyze the
outcomes and discuss their implications for the critical positions
shaping our climate future.
The stakes are high in several pivotal states. In Arizona, a pro-climate
government could address extreme heat and water shortages for the first
time. Michigan and Minnesota’s elections will determine if the upper
Midwest continues its clean energy progress or reverts to fossil fuels.
Pennsylvania has the chance to shift from fossil fuel dependence to
clean energy leadership. In North Carolina, candidates like Natasha
Marcus advocate for policies that protect families from climate-related
disasters. These pivotal races will shape the future of our climate
policy, making our webinar essential to understand what’s next.
Come join us at our next Green New Deal Happy Hour this Thursday at
Sonny’s Pizza at 7PM with our dear friends at Lead Locally – it is going
to be popping and we will be celebrating the importance of uplifting
local GND candidates!
Join us to turn voters out
this election to defeat Trump and elect climate champions!
The stakes in this election couldn’t be higher. That’s why we’re
supporting Kamala Harris and Congressional candidates in key races
across the country who will stand up for corporate polluters and put
people before profits.
Join us on Tuesdays to call
voters in key congressional
districts and make sure they have a plan to get out and vote for climate
champions.
At 6pm ET, we’ll be joined by Josh Riley to hear his plan to fight for
climate action once elected. Hear directly from Josh about his
priorities then make calls to voters to them out for him!
We’ll be making calls to support these climate champions:
Josh Riley for NY-19 at 6pm ET / 3pm PT
Kirsten Engel for AZ-06 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT
Both of these races can help Democrats take back the House. Josh and
Kirsten are running in battleground districts currently held by
Republicans. Join us to call voters and flip these seats.
This event is cohosted by Climate Hawks Vote, Center for Biological
Diversity Action Fund, Friends of the Earth Action, and Third Act.
