What does building durable multiracial, cross-class power for the US climate movement look like in practice? The Lab has been exploring this question over the past few years in conversation with leaders across the community, which has inspired our strategic Partnerships Program, projects like the Blueprint for a Multiracial, Cross-Class Climate Movement, our Training for Impact cohort, and our recent training series on coalitions.

This post includes climate and environment headlines, data points, and key takeaways from recent public polls – including new polling on the clean energy transition, the personal impacts of climate change, climate change as an issue in the presidential race, and methane pollution + a new analysis of the ways that Americans’ climate attitudes change over time.

The church I grew up attending, Westminster Presbyterian in Durham, NC, recently put solar panels on the roof and installed a battery storage system. As an Earth Care Congregation, they are committed to reducing carbon pollution and also hope the church can be a “resiliency hub” as our community faces increasingly severe and unpredictable storms, heat, and other dangerous weather events.
