Petitions (letter writing)
Group participation in rallys

We all have talents that can be used for good. For some of us, it’s an ability to sift through data and make meaning out of it. For others, it’s creativity – be it visual art, music, writing, film, cultural or performance. If I were to ask you to “use your voice” to get involved with the climate justice movement, what would that mean to you?

Check all that apply

Administrative – eg. data entry; thank you card writing, helping to plan events

Educational – eg. helping with lesson plans; creating educational resources (webinars/blogs/podcasts/articles/activities); helping out with in-person workshops

Artistic – eg graphic design/video editing; creating/gifting shareable content; video and photography services; sharing climate art on social media; facilitating art projects that are inter-generational

Relational/Social – eg. hosting listening circles; joining a forest and climate committee; amplifying stories via social networks; signing up and turning out friends, family and neighbours at key political moments

Innovative – eg starting up recycling programs

Stewarding – researching and planting indigenous plants to my area and planting bee/bird/insect friendly plants and gardening/yard maintenance practices, sharing the knowledge with others

Philanthropic – Becoming a donor, monthly donor or In-kind donor
