On #GivingTuesday, Support Our Volunteer Climate Efforts Across Montana
Families for a Livable Climate empowers Montana families to advocate for their future in the age of climate change. We do this work by offering free community climate conversations, hosting Fridays for Action working groups across Montana, sponsoring community events (such as DearTomorrow Missoula), and working on Montana voter education. In 2020, we will also organize the Montana Community Climate Summit for families across that state.
On #GivingTuesday, we are kicking off our first fundraiser. Learn more and support out work!

Get Involved: Host a Community Climate Conversation
Scientist Kathryn Hayhoe shared an amazing statistic in an interview last year. Three-quarters of Americans hear about climate change from someone they know only twice every year—that’s right, only twice a year. She summed up the impact of this silence very clearly: “If we don’t talk about it, we won’t care about it, and we won’t take action.” We are looking for people who would like to host an hour-long conversation of some kind in their community (we will have different formats), and gather 5-15 people to join in the event.
