With this day 2 action step I rejoined the local 350 org, made a small donation to the national 350 org, and confirmed my membership with the local Sierra Club chapter. Thanks for the nudge! Writing letters is an easy way for me to take action.

We started our own local grassroots group just before the pandemic started and It was still in the white house. Joining together and talking about the issues that frightened us was really helpful for each of us I think. Then, during the pandemic and the zoom world, we started being more strategic and have tried to partner with some of these national groups on local actions that make a bigger local impact. It's been great although I keep wanting to be able to do more and belong to more groups. Cutting it back is, indeed, the hardest part now.

I am a member of 360 and the local chapter of Sierra. I also joined 4 local organizations that are involved in Climate Action in the state/county I live in which has been very helpful.

Anne Marie, this action series has been so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to put together such clear and concrete ways for people to get involved.

I have a few more groups to add: Climate Reality Project; Roots & Shoots (the Jane Goodall Foundation's youth action program); and, Fridays for Future.

For folks in the western region of so-called Massachusetts, I've partnered with a bunch of local grassroots groups to create the Western Mass Climate Hub on Instagram (@western.mass.climate), where we share upcoming events, calls to action, and inspiring stories from a variety of local groups. I would greatly appreciate it if you could please give us a follow!
