ACTION PLAYBOOK:

Activate Your Network

Millions of Americans are concerned about climate change but are still sitting on the sidelines. We can inspire them to act.

28% of Americans would take political action on climate – if asked by someone they like and respect. You probably know at least a few people in that 28%.

That means you – and only you – have the power to tug a few friends off the sidelines with a simple ask. When each of us brings a few folks to the climate action party, our collective impact is multiplied and our message grows stronger. 

This playbook guides you through the process of extending an authentic and personal invitation to 3-5 key people in your network. The goal is to inspire at least one person close to you to take meaningful civic action on climate.

  • Estimated time: 30-45 minutes. Easy!

    This playbook can be completed in one sitting, or you can start and come back anytime. Need accountability buddies? Our community takes action together live at Hours of Action, on Zoom and in-person. Join one here!
