There's still so much to get done on climate. But if nothing else, CLEEN demonstrates that the effectiveness of movements is derived from the individuals that compose them—and by that measure the climate movement could not be in better shape.

This ‘code red for humanity’ must be a clarion call for all of us — every level of government & sector of the economy.

The science of the climate crisis is manifest in our communities: heat & hurricanes, droughts & wildfires.

We must build back better now. And must keep going.
