Action
The most effective way to manage climate anxiety is through action. Climate Cafe was founded by activists looking to funnel more people into the climate movement. Please take action with us by going to events hosted by these partner organizations and signing our curated list of petitions.
Our most precious resource is our community – and you’re part of it. If you find this list of resources handy, please consider supporting us with a coffee.
We’re looking to create a hub of volunteer opportunities and relevant petitions to sign. Please help us build this library for everyone’s benefit and share your opportunities with us.
Not sure where to begin on your climate action journey? We’ve got a quiz for that! Fill out some basic info and we’ll send you personalized suggestions for how to get involved.
Mutual Aid
Mutual aid is the backbone of community support: when an emergency like COVID struck our city, it was mutual aid groups that worked tirelessly to keep our neighbors safe, to ensure they were fed, had access to medicine.
We strongly encourage everyone to get involved with their local mutual aid organization so that our communities remain safe and strong.
Find your local organization at: https://mutualaid.nyc
Affecting change requires more than knowledge of the problem – it requires action.
We at Climate Cafe promote and encourage direct action within our communities to remind our leaders and our neighbors that we are a large, powerful community that is charting the way forward. Please consider volunteering or joining any of our partner organizations at their events:
