We celebrate Pride at the end of June to remember the Stonewall rebellion/riot to fight police oppression. I joined the LGBTQ movement and the climate movement because I want to end suffering and protect beautiful places and people. Both these movements are about health, justice, resilience, and liberation. As a queer climate advocate, I think it’s important to draw direct connections across liberation struggles, the fight for queer liberation and the climate justice movement, so we can build solidarity and sharpen our political analysis on how to win and expand a social base of power that sees our common interest.

A May 2021 poll found high support for a Climate Conservation Corps and medium support for nature-based climate solutions. Among likely voters surveyed, 83% of Democrats, 67% of Independents, and even 50% of Republicans support “government investments in a new “Climate Conservation Corps.” 80% of Democrats, 59% of Independents, and 41% of Republicans support “ocean climate action, which is harnessing the natural ability of the ocean to fight climate change.” Voters showed similar levels of support for “nature-based solutions to climate change.”             

This session was recorded on June 17, 2021. It was led by Yash Mori, the Managing Director of the Digital Climate Coalition, who built a cadre of 5000 volunteers at Indivisible all working to combat the disinformation that riddled the coverage of the 2020 election. After a 30 minute presentation Yash took questions from the audience for the second half of the session.
His presentation covered five elements of buiding a volunteer team to help fight disinformation, showcased current examples from ongoing work, and concluded with audience questions. The PDF of his deck is available for download by hitting the button above.
