Hello Daily Actors!

It is clearer than ever that when we rise together to care for each other and drive positive change, we are more resilient to shocks like pandemics, floods, fires and drought. With the climate emergency we are facing, now is the time to speak and act to reclaim our future. So TODAY we are launching the Build Civic Engagement aspect of our Be the Change Campaign.

Are you ready to feel the power, joy and sense of belonging from taking action to create more equitable, connected, climate resilient lives and communities? Then register your actions today and spread the word! With ample opportunities to engage in local and regional climate action and policy development, and elections on the horizon, we need YOUR VOICE, YOUR HEART, YOUR ACTION right now!

Need help and inspiration to up your civic engagement game? See below for resources and ways to take action this week and beyond. By registering you will receive more resources, calls to action and opportunities to engage.

In a world of so much hurt and difficulty, it is important to celebrate and build upon the bright spots. In the last year we have come so far, getting climate emergency resolutions declared, supporting the City of Petaluma to create a Climate Commission and helping draft a community-powered climate emergency framework for action and policy. All of this has come from increased civic engagement. Register now, join the movement and together we can build a better, more hopeful world that works for everyone.
