Moving Planet CT Brainstorm Notes – Send 5 favorites by Friday 6/24

by

Moving Planet brainstormers: great to see you last night. Thanks for a fun, thoughtful, creative brainstorm session, with lots of good ideas and lots of ways to move forward.

As promised, here are my notes from the meeting (below). We agreed that each of us will pick 5 of our favorite ideas or themes, make a list of outcomes we’d like to see from the 9/24 event, and give suggestions for organizations or people to reach out to. That last point is especially important — we’ll need to assemble a solid team of organizers to pull off a statewide action like this, and so we need to continue to identify people with the energy and vision for this kind of work.

An introduction, an invitation, and Moving Connecticut

by

350.org Organizers across Connecticut,

First, an introduction: I’m Justin Haaheim, the 350.org Regional Coordinator for Connecticut.  I’m here to be a resource for you, to help connect people with similar interests or projects, and to join with you and others to build a broad, powerful statewide network of groups working for a better future for our planet and the people on it.  I live in New Haven, CT, and joined the 350.org Team in March.  Feel free to write me at justin –at– 350 dot org — I’d love to hear from you.

By now, you’ve all heard about Moving Planet (moving-planet.org) — the big global day of action coming up on September 24th.  This year, 350 is aiming BIG and asking for people to work together for big turnout in a few key places in the US, and Connecticut is one of them.  It’s time for us to come together across the state and do what we do well: organize the kind of beautiful, inviting, inspiring climate action that is going to mobilize our communities and cool our planet.
