June 2023 Monthly Actions & Meeting W/ Bill McKibben, Middlebury College

Average Rating:

Each month, Citizens’ Climate Lobby supporters gather locally for a monthly meeting where we educate ourselves by listening to a guest speaker. Go to your local chapter's page to find out more about your chapter's plans for listening in. June's Monthly Meeting will be on Saturday, June 10th at 1:00 pm ET and featured a conversation with Bill McKibben, Middlebury College.

50682849a884ee0610ab03a91eff1582-huge-mcTo have any shot at building the clean energy economy needed to solve climate change, we will have to overcome the inflexive resistance to development of the projects and resources that will facilitate that transition. Perhaps the most trusted person to deliver that message to environmentalists is climate champion Bill McKibben, and that's what he did in a recent piece for Mother Jones. He joins this month's national call days before our volunteers go to lobby on Capitol Hill. Bill is an author, educator, and environmentalist who helped found 350.org, the first global grassroots climate campaign. He recently helped found Third Act, a progressive organizing movement for people over the age of 60.
