We invite you to join community leaders of Richmond, CA and activists from around the country to spend 3 days learning, building, & preparing for action!

The 2009 West Coast Convergence for Climate Justice is a three-day training and movement-building convergence followed by a collective action on Monday, September 21st. Join us to learn about climate change and climate politics, support local communities in their ongoing fights for climate justice, & build a stronger Climate Justice movement on the West Coast leading up to the international days of action on October 24th and November 30th and international climate change negotiations in Copenhagen in December.

Trainings and workshops at the convergence will cover:

  • Political education around climate justice
  • Practical sustainability skills (traditional knowledge, local food systems, solar energy, etc)
  • Direct action
  • Media messaging
  • Organizing and campaigning
  • Movement building.
