SUMMARY:You Are the Best Messenger!
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that most people drastically underestimate how much others care about climate change and the environment? \nIn the United States\, supporters of climate policies outnumber opponents two to one\, while most of us falsely perceive nearly the opposite.11 \nFortunately\, people tend to trust people they know and can relate to. That makes us the best messengers to our friends\, families\, and communities. But we don’t always know the best and most effective way to engage. \nThat’s why\, as part of Sierra Club’s Climate Truth Tellers team\, we’re hosting a workshop series on engaging your community through relational organizing. Learn more and RSVP here! \nThis two-part series is focused on how we can engage our communities to protect our future\, both online and in person. You’re welcome to attend one or both events: \n\n“YOU Are the Best Messenger: Relational Organizing 101\,” which will be held on Monday\, October 26 at 4 pm PT/ 7 pm ET.\n“Having Holiday Conversations with Friends and Family\,” which will be held on Thursday\, November 19\, at 4 pm PT/ 7 pm ET.\n\nCan’t join live? The workshop recordings and materials will be shared with all registrants! \n
