I am hoping you can send this out to your students today to invite them to this training facilitated by Bennington College students and Energy Independent VT (held at Middlebury College!). It’s happening THIS SATURDAY, and is sure to be a collaborative, network building space for VT students! We can help with carpools if necessary.

Please let me know if you are able to push this out!

In Solidarity,

Put A Price On It

—

I’m reaching out to invite you to a unique training that’s happening on Saturday, November 18th at Middlebury College from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Students will learn about carbon pricing, intersectional climate advocacy, and how to speak with elected officials like champs. It is just the opportunity for students to jump in and get valuable skills to advance meaningful climate policy, while connecting with environmental leaders in Vermont. You’ve gotta be there.

The training will be hosted by Our Climate, whose mission is to empower the generations most affected by climate change to advocate for equitable, science-based climate policy. We believe that young people are some of the most important messengers to share how detrimental pollution is to our health and future. We need you there. Will you join us for the training?
