On the Rocks: Climate Talks - Power and Policy in Climate Action

​The fight for bold climate policy has never been more urgent - or more under attack.

​Climate Action Club is thrilled to have ClimateVoice's Executive Director Deborah McNamara share an exciting lecture on the current U.S. policy landscape, the anti-climate agendas underway, and how individuals can speak up to promote strong climate policy advocacy in the workplace. Come learn about the fossil fuel interests and large cross-sector trade associations that continue to inhibit progress on climate policy. Stay for the discussions about how we can address this through advocacy techniques that can influence corporate leadership.

​About the Venue

​We’ll be meeting at The Commons in Hayes Valley, a cozy fourth place dedicated to meaning-making, personal growth and self-expression, in community! The event is open to folks under 21. Limited drinks (soda, other NA bevs) and snacks will be available. Out of respect for the space, please note that SF Commons is a shoes-off environment.
