Workshops & Webinars

Bring your leadership, insights, and curiosity to the Lab’s summer community call: Is the climate movement winning? Assessing the moment we’re in. The Lab’s interdisciplinary community has grown to over 3,600 members and community calls are designed for connection, honest discussion, and shared learning across our diverse, dynamic climate movement ecosystem.
On Wednesday, June 22 at 1 pm PT / 3 pm CT / 4 pm ET, we will gather to talk shop about our movement, discuss conditions shaping the political moment, and practice the skill of assessment and landscape analysis. As we bring our visions and strategies to life, our ability to navigate uncertainty and shifting conditions will be key to our success. As Marshall Ganz said, “Strategic thinking is reflexive and imaginative, based on ways leaders learn to reflect on the past, attend to the present, and anticipate the future.”

In 2021, we kicked off a round of research project collaborations to study how climate, clean energy, and climate justice organizations can leverage the Social Identity Model of Collective Action (SIMCA) to better engage and mobilize their bases. Come see how we’ve been unpacking SIMCA and leave a better understanding of how to organize your key audiences and build buy-in from your supporters! In part 1 of this report-out, we’ll feature research done in collaboration with:
