350 Wenatchee Climate Conversations NCW

May 25, 8 pm ET/5 pm PT – Join Third Act’s monthly call and get updates on groundbreaking research by BankFWD that will change the game around getting Big Banks out of the fossil fuel business. You will also hear from one of our new working groups, Third Act Educators, who are mobilizing K-12, community college, and university educators to advance our democracy and climate campaigns. We’ll have updates on our Mobilizing for the Midterms efforts and hear progress on Third Actors’ efforts to engage with big banks on climate change.

May 18, 7:30 pm ET/4:30 pm PT – Join Third Act and The Civics Center and learn how senior citizens can recruit high schools, educators, and students to implement voter registration efforts to ensure graduating seniors get registered to vote. We’ll also share a fun and effective graduation registration card and how to make a Tribute video to inspire youth to register. About 4 million youth will turn 18 before the 2022 midterm elections, yet in many states fewer than 20% of 18 year olds get registered by election day. Get trained to help ensure every graduate is a voter!

May 31, 7:30 – 8:30 pm ET/4:30 – 5:30 pm PT. Everyone has a role to play in Third Act’s campaigns to protect our climate and safeguard our democracy! Join Third Act’s monthly “welcome call” and learn from our Organizing Team how you can engage with other experienced Americans and join our activities, hear about Working Groups and Third Act efforts near you, and plug in to our growing network.

June 1, 7:30 pm ET/4:30 pm PT – Calling all educators, professors,  and teachers! The Third Act Educators Working Group Coordinating Committee – comprised thus far by five dedicated educators from California, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Virginia – is delighted to invite you to join us for a call with Bill McKibben and members of the Educators Working Group coordinating committee, including teacher Lenore Kenny, to learn about our upcoming work and how you can get involved. Lenore was a teacher for 48 years, recently at the June Jordan School for Equity in San Francisco, where she had students create emergency plans for the community and re-enact the Paris Climate Accord negotiations.

With our growing network of Third Act Educators, we will kickstart a national mobilization of K-12, community college, and university educators to help advance Third Act’s crucial work on climate and democracy. As part of mobilizing for the midterms, we will be investing our efforts in the coming months in our “Senior-to-Seniors” initiative, where elders help high school students turning 18 to register to vote, and preparing for National Voter Registration Day in September.
