This is an awesome opportunity to get first rate climate organizing training straight from the folks who organized
the tar sands protest and other 350.org events and campaigns. Learn what climate activists are doing around the
country, build relationships with terrific local climate activists, develop crucial organizing skills, identify the
strengths you have to be a movement leader, and brainstorm on key climate projects going on right here in San
Diego County.
These workshops are being offered across the U.S. and around the world with the purpose of building the
strongest possible climate and clean energy movement to address the climate crisis by building the organizing
skills of local leaders.
