Adopt-A-District

Let's unite for real political power!

You are hereby invited to be a point person in your Congressional District as part of our “Adopt-A-District'' campaign. Help lead and find others to bring together community groups and activists across policy passions for powerful advocacy. The goal is to build a big web of influential leaders who can reach deep into the political machinery and bring elected officials to serious climate action. Nothing is more important. Sign up to be a volunteer.

Who do you know who knows someone who worked on the campaign? What community groups are you or a friend connected to? This is for our children. It’s our pollution we’re trying to stop. So they can enjoy this planet as we did or suffer unimaginable disruption. This is that moment. History will never forget what this generation does - or doesn’t do. Join the action!

Climate Bill Package: Bill Details and NGO Leads

Team Lead: Gregg Wagner - greggtwag@gmail.com

The Demands and Asks: As an organizing focus and first “asks”, we’re starting with a Climate Bill Package of existing legislation that spans many topics. These bills - on FF tax subsidies, plastics, farming, fracking, forests, wetlands, and more - are the tools to recruit activists passionate on these topics, and to unite local groups.

As we develop the comprehensive EARTH BILL, we will add to our demands together. We are also engaging with other coalitions and faith groups for more immediate action, likely to be focused on mandates for pollution reduction by key industries as part of budget bills.

Rarely are so few people so important, but 435 Representatives and 100 Senators will determine the fate of humanity and life on Earth. Yet for too long, corporations have controlled the votes. Let’s unite and take back our political power.
