TAKE PART IN A PEACEFUL PROTEST.

Peaceful protests have been shown to increase climate support, including favorable shifts in climate media coverage and public opinion. One study found increased climate protests were associated with declines in emissions in US states. Plus, joining demonstrations is a great way to meet people with the same goals as you.

Your high-impact action is to find a local group you can join and support in climate demonstrations.

It’s most effective to start with an existing organization. There is one near you that would love your support!

Your talents are needed – whether it’s designing materials, building coalitions, showing up for the big day of action, updating websites, providing childcare, accounting… movements need it all!

A great place to start, with tons of chapters globally and lots of great resources for becoming a more savvy activist, is 350.org.

Or check out this map from Fridays For Future for a local upcoming action.

Find the next meeting of your group, put it in your calendar, and show up! Bonus points if you bring a friend.
