August Recording,
Resources and Reflection
Greetings!

Thank you for registering for The Better Together Sessions! It was great to see everyone at the zoom meeting and wonderful to embark on these conversations together. If you didn't have a chance to join last night's session, we recorded it for you. 

We invite you to watch and share the recording, read through the chat log responses, explore the session resources provided below. We encourage you to use the time in-between sessions to reflect on how you can ensure equity in your personal climate work as well as our collective actions as ECA.

PLEASE give us some feedback:
What suggestions do you have for how ECA can become a more inclusive organization?  What type of training would be helpful in supporting you to be more inclusive and a better ally in your climate work? Let us know your thoughts in our feedback form. Click here.

And consider these questions over the coming month:
  • What are some steps you would like to take to ensure equity is centered in your work?
  • From your perspective, as climate activists, why should we place urgency around equity in climate justice work?

Next Session: Thursday, September 9, Climate and Environmental Justice. Please consider inviting and bringing a friend to the next session!
