Communications Team

Engage with Community Members About Local Advocacy for Climate Solutions

The Communications Team connects with people in Contra Costa County to help them learn about and engage in local climate action. The county is large and diverse, with 19 cities and many unincorporated communities. We aim to develop a climate-focused presence in each.

We promote action through:

What We Do

Educate

Produce webinars and events that provide a deeper understanding of climate threats and solutions.

Write Letters to the Editor that respond to local news items about climate change, amplify solutions, and correct misconceptions.

Present talks related to clean energy solutions, environmental justice, climate mitigation policy, and ending the use of fossil fuels.

Outreach

Meet community members at local fairs and other events to showcase who we are, what we do, and offer local climate actions they can take right now. We encourage people to sign up for our newsletter and to volunteer with us.

Encourage new volunteers to find a role in our group that works for them. We connect them with veteran volunteers to act as guides and mentors.
