What are the facts about the economic impacts of making polluting corporations pay their fair share to clean up and mitigate the climate crisis? Join us to learn from UC Berkeley Economist Dr. Clair Brown and Maya Golden-Krasner, JD from the Climate Law Institute at the Center for Biological Diversity, about the real economic impacts of holding polluters accountable. Understanding and conveying a clear message about the economics and legal issues are critical to winning our Make Polluters Pay campaigns -- this conversation couldn't be more timely!

Why do some leaders' stories bring us to tears and others land flat? How can we tell a story as a leadership practice-- to win hearts and grow our movement? 

Want to learn how to tell your story of why you care so much about clean energy, climate justice and climate polluter accountability– in a way that touches the heart of your audience and inspires them to join our movement for Making Polluters Pay?  

Public Narrative harnesses the power of story to the work of leadership. Join allies in the Make Polluters Pay community across California to focus on the leadership practice of public narrative– in which you’ll craft your own powerful story for why this campaign means so much to you– so that when you share it even more people join our coalition! 

We will spend an action-packed, high-yield 90 minutes together learning– and practicing– community organizing’s public narrative model for sharing our Story of Self, Us and Now– with the aim of strengthening the power and heart of our Make Polluters Pay community. 

We hope you’ll join us!
