from Make Your Damn Bed
"It’s time for us to all be apocalyptic optimists: prepared for the shocks that are coming and ready to rally as activists, disruptors and bridge builders. Together, we can pressure the state and the market to adopt the changes that our communities require to survive. Here's my advice about how to be the change makers we need." - Dana FisherClimate shocks are a stark reminder of what’s at stake, but they don’t have to be the only catalyst for change. By acting now: through policy reform, grassroots organizing, environmental justice, and technological innovation, we can work to prevent the worst impacts of the climate crisis and build a more just and sustainable future. The power to shape our future is in our hands. Every active stance we take today, reduces the need for reactive responses tomorrow.Resources: Dana's Ted Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/dana_r_fisher_how_to_be_an_apocalyptic_optimistDana Fisher's Website: https://danarfisher.com/DONATE: www.pcrf.netGet Involved:Operation Olive Branch: Spreadsheets + LinksGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.
