Issue: Organizational Development

May marked the ten year anniversary of the Climate Advocacy Lab. True to form of our nerdiness, today we’re releasing one of the most substantive pieces of work to date, our Ten-Year Impact Report, written by my former Co-Director Carina Barnett-Loro.

In this week’s edition of our Lab newsletter, I want to take a moment to reflect on the power of community – what it really means to show up, connect, and build together. I was honored to have attended so many transformative events in 2025, from RootsCamp to Netroots. Below are some takeaways from these spaces that can be implemented for successful community-building, both in advocacy and in your personal life, as well as a list of upcoming conferences to keep an eye on.

This tipsheet synthesizes information from the webinar Mastering Facilitation: Transforming Tensions and Conflict Management.

Through interactive exercises and practical tools, attendees will enhance their facilitation skills and learn how to navigate and manage conflicts effectively.

Fall is here, and the Lab has officially kicked off our 6th Training for Impact cohort, this time focused in the Southeast! We launched this cohort in August, after a great deal of thoughtful reflections on our first five cohorts, and hosted our kick-off last month in New Orleans, LA!
