Here’s what to expect at this event:

Study Table: We will have experts on hand so that you can understand the current playing field in terms of what we are up against with the fossil fuel industry working overtime to get their friends in the White House and Congress to undercut any and all progress

Pep Rally Atmosphere: We will fire each other up so that we have the passion and energy to keep moving the ball down the field toward our clean energy future
Bouncing Back After a Loss: The climate movement has taken some losses at the national level, no question about it. We’ll ask the question: What do you do to bounce back after taking an L?
Celebrating Our Victories and Training Table: Lift our spirits by celebrating the work that we’ve done together, as well as fuel our minds and bodies with some food and drink

When: Saturday, October 25th, from 11 am – 1 pm
Where: Union Rec in Ann Arbor – parking is available on site, and local buses have stops nearby.
Who: Local climate leaders, organizations working on climate issues, elected officials, and everyday Michigan residents
How: Food, football-themed decor, informatio,n and remarks about climate policy and advocacy work, including next steps to take action
