Workshops & Webinars

As the seasons turn, new life and opportunities emerge. Join the Lab’s first Spring Community Call to re-ground in community, plant seeds of understanding on our movement’s key priorities and challenges, and nurture dialogue with other leaders about what it takes to build durable power and win equitable solutions.
Social science research affirms the need for “critical capacities” of effective social movements. The Lab believes these should include: strategic, organizing, narrative, disruptive, electoral/institutional. During our Spring Community Call, we will explore what these are and reflect on how these critical capacities are connected to building a power multiracial, cross-class climate movement.
In this community call, participants will leave with:

New and strengthened relationships with other leaders in the movement
A snapshot of the climate movement’s current opportunities and gaps
Concrete ways to apply the “5 critical capacities framework”

Together, we can create a space of learning across the Lab community and inspire one another with our collectively held and distinct experiences.

Are you new to the Lab, or maybe looking for a refresher? Looking to utilize the Lab more effectively to achieve greater impacts in your climate advocacy work? Join us for a hands-on webinar where you'll learn about all the resources available to you to work smarter – not (just) harder – through the Climate Advocacy Lab!

Social science research affirms the need for “critical capacities” of effective social movements (narrative, disruptive, electoral/institutional). What are these? How do we develop them in our campaigning and organizing work?
In this training, we will work through the meaning of the critical capacities and their utility in multi-racial cross-class organizing. We will review case studies about how different coalitions have developed and sustained their critical capacities using evidence-based advocacy.
