About the Launch Event
Join us for an evening of conversation, creativity, and connection as we explore what climate action can look like when it's rooted in hope, community, and collective imagination.
We'll learn from women leading climate and civic change, participate in an interactive visioning exercise inspired by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson's What If We Get It Right? Together, we'll imagine what our future climate-resilient communities can look like and identify the actions we can start taking today to make that possible.
Whether you're new to climate action or already involved, this event is a space to connect with other young people curious about climate and civic engagement and serves as a launch event for our fall 2026 monthly book club for What if We Get it Right?
