The goal of TA Educators Climate Law/IRA Project Team is to connect climate directly to the 2024 election. As Brett Walter, CEO of the Climate Action Now App succinctly put it in his June 2 Newsletter: preventing the re-election of Donald Trump is the highest 2024 priority for the climate movement. Nothing else comes even remotely close.”
On that note, the deeply engaged Climate Law/IRA Project Team is taking our varied Power Point presentations around the country, addressing the climate crisis: its causes and collective solutions, especially the Biden Administration’s powerful new climate policies: the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), additional environmental rules from the Biden Administration’s EPA, and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act (BIL). Bruce is presenting in Virginia, Diana in Arizona, Clare in Georgia, and Jackie in Michigan. Our target audiences are 18-34 year olds and 65+ year olds based on data that show these demographic groups hold climate as their priority issue, yet don’t necessarily get to the ballot box. We are bringing these talks to Osher Lifelong Learning classes for seniors, university students, League of Women’s Voters Environmental groups, retirement homes, political candidate forums, Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club, and many more.
TA Educators Climate Law/IRA team is also “training the trainers” and has worked with Third Act Working Group members who are delivering presentations in their own states of Ohio, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Virginia, New Hampshire, Georgia, Oregon, along with TA Faith groups, and TA Educators. (See this link to the Table of Contents template for the State of Michigan as one example.)
Please consider working with us and make the climate – election connection in your own community. It’s fun, and gives you the chance to use your skills as an educator to discuss the most all-encompassing environmental policies this country has ever seen, while acting to prevent future politicians from undoing these policies; especially one who promises to “drill, baby, drill” on day one.
