Climate Action - Without D.C.
A REALITY CHECK WITH VERMONT SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS
WEBINAR: Wednesday, February 8th at 7 p.m.

The Trump Administration has made clear its disdain for science and their intent to roll back our nation’s commitment to tackling global warming. It’s a sobering new reality (on this and many important issues). It also means we must redouble our efforts. The only question is, HOW?

Webinar with Senator Bernie Sanders, Vermont State Senator Christopher Bray and some of Vermont's leading environmental advocates -- Wednesday, February 8 at 7 p.m.

---

Senator Sanders will be joined by Addison County State Senator Christopher Bray and a few of Vermont’s leading environmental advocates. Beyond the federal framework from Bernie, you’ll get an overview of the 2017 legislative outlook and some ideas on what you, as a concerned citizen, can do to continue forward momentum on climate change – in Vermont – and beyond.

It has become abundantly clear that global warming solutions, in the U.S., now rest with states and municipalities. New ways of collaboration and coordination are required to advance a job-creating clean energy economy and ensure a strong, strategic and just transition away from polluting fossil fuels.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear directly from Senator Bernie Sanders.

We can work together to protect birds we see every day.
Climate change poses profound challenges to conservation. The effects of climate change are already apparent—from habitat loss to devastating breaks in the delicate links that connect birds, migration, and food sources.

Audubon’s Climate Initiative, the organizational response to this threat, taps into its members’ love and commitment for birds to build population resilience and demand solutions to slow the pace of warming. Audubon is encouraging its members to take steps to address the climate change threat in their backyards, in their communities, in the Important Bird Areas (IBAs) near their homes, and in the state houses.

That requires a diverse network of climate activists with a shared value—a love and appreciation of birds. Take a look at how Audubon’s network of chapters, centers, state offices, and individual activists is helping birds adapt and pushing for solutions on behalf of birds.

WEBINAR HOSTS: Audubon Vermont, Vermont Natural Resources Council, VPIRG, Vermont Conservation Voters, Rights and Democracy, Renewable Energy Vermont, Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility, Vermont Chapter of the Sierra Club, VECAN, Vital Communities, Vermont Interfaith Power and Light, and 350VT.
