Climate Justice

"We are the first generation to feel the sting of climate change, and we are the last generation that can do something about it."

All around the world people are feeling the effects of Climate Change, and the Trump Administration is doing nothing about it. In fact, they are taking many actions that will make it worse: eliminating the EPA, accelerating drilling for fossil fuels, pulling out of a climate treaty, and more. But we can fight back! Here are some groups taking action:

Locally: Wenatchee Interfaith Climate Group -- Meets monthly via zoom. They have 12 regular participants and probably close to 40 on their email list receiving minutes. 

From the Interfaith Climate Group Minutes - Needed Apple Blossom Zero Waste volunteers : to work shifts through the festival encouraging people to put their waste into composting/recycling/landfill bins.  Kris Cameron is the contact. (509-669-7619).

Nationally: Environmental Defense Fund -- "We are a global nonprofit organization tackling climate change — the greatest challenge of our time. Our bold, game-changing solutions put people at the center of all we do." 

Greenpeace -- Currently fighting a lawsuit against them by Big Oil. 

Alternate National Park Service --  This is a grassroots movement that emerged in 2017 as a response to restrictions imposed on the National Park Service during the Trump administration. It is described as a "resistance" team dedicated to protecting the National Park Service and advocating for responsible stewardship of national parks, especially during periods of policy uncertainty.
