• Connect with Local Organizations. One of the questions asked was about getting into community action.  Here are a few local organizations we discussed to get you started: 
  • Citizen's Climate Lobby Seattle. Learn more about Citizens’ Climate Lobby and how you can make a difference in creating the political will for legislation that will wean our nation off the fossil fuels that are changing the Earth’s climate.
  • 350 Seattle. Our work falls roughly into these four categories: resistance, solutions, accountability, and movement support. Within those categories are distinct flows of work with teams of people focused on them — for example, within Solutions there are teams for the Green New Deal, Policy, and the Port. Teams are how we do what we do. (Many teams have elements of more than one category, but we’ve found these are still a helpful way of viewing the bodies of work.)
  • People for Climate Action Seattle. We work with and support Seattle city council members and the Seattle Office of Sustainability and Environment (OSE) to implement a comprehensive, robust, equitable, and measurable climate action plan (CAP) to reach the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets set by the King County-Cities Climate Collaboration. This includes advocating for issues such as better public transit, electrified transportation, and a path to transitioning building heating from fossil fuels to electricity generated from renewable energy sources. 
  • 43rd LD Dems Environmental Caucus. The 43rd District Democrats Environmental Caucus is active in the 43rd Legislative District of Washington State. This district lies within the city of Seattle covering Eastlake, Capitol Hill, Madison Park, Broadmoor, Montlake, University District, Wallingford, and parts of Greenlake, Ravenna, Fremont, South Lake Union and downtown Seattle.
  • 46th LD Environmental Caucus. Our goal is to increase political participation and civic involvement in the District by educating residents about the principles of the Democratic Party and empowering residents to support campaigns that reflect Democratic values.  We endorse candidates and ballot measures that reflect the priorities of the District and the platform, policies, and values of the Democratic Party. We fundraise and provide funds and organizational support to advance Democratic campaigns and candidates that support our values through Get Out The Vote (GOTV) organizing, voter registration, and education. 
  • CommunityWorks!   CommunityWorks! was born in the fall of 2020, in the midst of multiple national crises—the pandemic, racial injustice, political polarization, and the climate crisis. It was born out of the belief that, individually and collectively, we harbor limitless possibilities amid the vast untapped potential in all life on this planet. Challenging times and setbacks are an opportunity for learning and growth where old paradigms crumble and new ones emerge. 
• Earth Hero. Once you are inspired into action, you need a companion to help.  Good news, there is an app for that!  Fill out a short survey to get a profile of where your carbon emissions come from. Set targets to reduce emissions, relative to global averages and IPCC recommendations. Browse ideas for actions to figure out your first steps. Track your progress with helpful reminders and tools to measure your impact. Discover social actions that have a multiplier effect. Refine your profile as you go to get a personalized view of possible actions. Go out and reduce carbon pollution, work with others to address climate change, and care for our shared planet.
• Climate Action Now. The Climate Action Now app makes it exceptionally easy to take meaningful climate action on your phone in just seconds or minutes. Most actions you take earn points, and when you’ve earned enough points, we’ll plant a tree on your behalf.
• Regeneration.org Punch Lists. A punch list can be for an individual, family, community, company, or city.  It is the list of the actions you or a group will undertake and accomplish over a predetermined span of time—one month, one year, five years, or more. You can make different lists for different time periods—this week and this year for example.
• Drawdown Ecochallenge. Connect the dots between your values and the impact of your actions with Drawdown Ecochallenge! Drawdown Ecochallenge is offered in partnership by Ecochallenge.org and Project Drawdown. Together, we're taking action on the 100 most substantive solutions to global warming. Stretch your limits, earn points, and see your positive impact grow. Take the challenge, and see how a few weeks of action add up to a lifetime of change for you and the planet.

Resources Shared During our Discussion:

• Resource Guide from Jim Little.  To aid in the discussion, Jim Little broke up the webinar into smaller pieces so we could have a discussion and reflect on each one.  To accompany this, he created a resource guide with links to the documents and resources mentioned in the discussion.  This is a one stop shop for the core resources for our discussion, great resource for all of us!
