“What is the best way to motivate climate action? It may be more complicated than we think! Storytelling and scientific facts are both useful, but they tend to impact people differently, depending on political affiliation and whether or not they're already part of an environmental movement.
Take a look at the article below and let us know your thoughts! What motivates YOU to act and what techniques do you use to reach out to others?”

“Who is a terrorist? The Israeli Defense Ministry just declared Palestinian prisoners, women, children, farmers and researchers terrorists, and thus illegal and criminals subject to imprisonment. Leading Palestinian human rights groups have, for decades, meticulously documented and exposed Israel’s grave violations of human rights: Addameer is a an org for the rights of political prisoners; al-Haq documents illegal actions taken by the Israeli government; and Defense for Children International Palestine is a charitable org. The Union of Agricultural Work Committees, Bisan Center for Research and Development and the Union of Palestinian Women Committees are also on the list. Stop whatever you are doing and CALL your members of Congress NOW. Palestinians need overwhelming and undeniable international outrage and it needs to include Congress and the Biden administration. If they want to start centering human rights in our foreign policy it’s time for them to prove it. Call your members of Congress and tell them to condemn this action now.
On a personal note, I have visited the organizations mentioned and spent time with organizers in the field. My friends are now in danger of getting arrest a-g-a-i-n for demanding that Israel itself upholds human rights. No wonder Donald Trump and Israel are best friends. What does it mean that the present administration will continue to fund Israeli militarism which will now be used to silence the voices of Palestinian farmers, prisoners, women cooperatives, researchers, legal orgs and advocates of children. CALL today.

Noam Chomsky:
“The Path to a Livable Future
Or will rich corporations trash the planet?”
"The economic system of the last 40 years has been particularly destructive. It's inflicted a major assault on most of the population, resulting in a huge growth in inequality and attacks on democracy and the environment."

“…Corporate-free People’s party…”:
“Democratic Leaders Are Betting Progressives Will Fold”
“Bernie Sanders supporters have stayed the course since he took over the role of Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. The presence of the "Progressive Caucus" in Congress has had a powerful influence on the hopeful minds of millions of voters. But, as Bernie has shown us, corporate money atomizes the ideology of progressive policy.
It's time to fold up the banners and the tents and step away from the tilt-a-whirl of the two party system. The only serious, viable option for true democracy, right now, is a corporate-free People's Party.”

“Here’s why the workforce is leaving. I don’t wanna bust ass, for admittedly high pay, for a house I’ll never be able to afford, to raise kids I’ll never be able to afford, and sent them to school I’ll never be able to afford, and then retire, which I’ll never be able to afford.”

Footloose Montana:
"The question I am left with is, WHO ARE THESE LAWS AND HUNTING REGULATIONS FOR?
The 0.5% of the Montana population who participate in trapping?
The two Republican legislators who championed them?
They certainly aren’t for the thousands of Montanans who have voiced their disgust at both the laws and the resulting regulations. Public comment is meant to inform and create better policy.
When it comes to wolves, it is clear that the overwhelming majority of people who are opposed to these measures, whether they are experts or concerned citizens, are being disregarded. State legislators, commissioners, and Gov. Gianforte must be held accountable."
