A
We
we've
got
some
of
our
usual
things.
Welcome
land
acknowledgement,
the
creatives
have
an
interesting
piece.
We
have
a
guest
who's
going
to
be
talking
about
chapter
support.
We
have
a
new
app
that
another
guest
is
going
to
talk
to
us
about
leah,
wrote
us
about
going
into
breakout
rooms,
we're
going
to
talk
about
chapter
elections.
We
have
a
few
announcements
and
erica
is
going
to
finish
us
up
with
a
a
marvelous
letter
that
she'll
be
reading.
A
B
Hi
group,
craig
lieberman,
just
joining
the
group
and
actually
today,
is
my
first
full-time
session
with
the
climate
leader
training,
so
I'll
be
attending
that
this
evening
at
the
national
level,
the
the
climate
leaders
training
that
that
the
national
organization
organizes
am,
I
am
I
muted
or
am
I
can
you
hear
me?
We
can
hear
you
great
background
for
the
company
that
I
worked
for
spent
eight
years
as
the
sustainability
lead
on
and
off
formally
and
informally,
with
the
company
driving
primarily
energy
saving
projects.
A
So
we're
very
happy
to
have
you
craig
and
we
look
forward
to
your
contribution.
Is
there
anybody
else
who
would
like
to
introduce
himself?
That's
the
only
hand
that
I
see
up
in
zoom
but,
of
course,
virtually
there's
lots
of
different
ways
to
to
raise
your
hand.
Anybody
else
want
to
jump
in
before
we
get
to
the
second
item
on
the
agenda.
A
Okay,
well,
we
do
have
a
couple
of
guests
we'll
be
introducing
in
a
minute.
As
I
said,
we
have
a
chock
full
agenda.
We
may
go,
we've
really
been
trying
to
cut
our
meetings
down
so
that
we
don't
wear
you
all
out,
but
we've
obviously
got
a
lot
of
work.
To
do,
and
today
is
a
reflection
of
that,
we
may
go
15
minutes
longer.
A
C
A
A
A
Some
contacted
the
city
council
in
outrage,
as
the
city
has
taken
steps
to
remove
the
polluting
heat
shingle
mountain
is
another
example
of
how
masses
of
efforts
in
many
different
forms
can
accomplish
results.
It
encourages
us
to
continue
to
add
our
small
contributions,
even
though
we
may
not
think
they
will
make
a
difference.
D
D
A
E
Thanks
richard,
I
have
a
real
privilege
today
to
introduce
our
new
point
person
of
contact
with
chapter
support,
william
conover,
who
asked
to
join
the
meeting
today.
I
will
say
for
those
of
you
who
haven't
been
with
us
from
the
very
beginning
in
in
our
now
four
plus
years.
As
a
chapter
we've
had
six
point.
F
Yeah,
hey
everyone
thanks
for
having
me,
you
guys
have
a
really
impressive
group
here
to
do
this.
All
on
a
volunteer
basis
is
really
really
amazing
stuff.
So
thank
you
for
all
the
work
you
guys
do
and
if
someone
could
send
me
that
video
that
was
beautifully
haunting
but
really
well
done,
and
I
would
love
to
share
that
around
but
yeah
my
name
is
william
conover,
I'm
originally
from
richmond
virginia.
I
did
some
organizing
there.
F
A
A
E
E
E
He
is,
after
all,
an
actor
in
new
york
city
he's
a
higher
wire
walker,
he's
a
firefighter
he's,
he's
kind
of
an
all-purpose
renaissance
man,
and
a
lot
of
you
have
heard
him
start
to
talk,
and
I
thought
well,
it's
easy
to
say
game
changer,
but
I
went
if
I
followed
up
and
I
got
in
touch
with
brett.
Several
of
us
from
the
executive
committee
spent
some
time
with
him
and
his
team
learning
about
his
app
climate
action.
E
I
I'm
actually
inclined
now
to
take
tim
gunny
at
his
word
and
say
this
could
be
a
game
changer.
This
is
a
way
to
take
action
every
day
on
your
phone
or
on
your
computer
and
and
blast
out
messages
to
change
makers
at
every
level.
So
with
that
brett
and
and
team
from
climate
action
now
welcome
aboard.
Please
come
in
and
and
and
start
telling
us
how
to
how
to
get
involved.
Using
your
app
okay.
G
Well,
thank
you
roger
for
the
introduction
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to.
Let
us
talk
to
your
group.
I
got
to
say
matthew,
and
I,
my
my
my
colleague
here
is
our
head
of
content
have
been
to
a
number
of
chapter
meetings
now,
and
yours
is
the
very
first
chapter
where
there
was
a
lot
of
people
before
the
starting
bell,
which
was
really
impressive.
G
So
we're
looking
really
we're
excited
about
working
with
all
of
you.
I
just
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
and
then
matthew
is
going
to
show
you
how
you
can
get
started
with
the
app
background
matthew
and
I
are
both
climate
reality
trained
climate
air
leaders,
I'm
pittsburgh
2017,
I'm
also
a
sophomore
yay.
G
I
guess
a
fellow
alumnus
we
I
went
to
that
training
and
I
I
was
I'm
a
career
software
developer
here
in
silicon
valley,
and
I
said
yeah.
I
got
to
do
something
about
this,
so
I
sold
my
business
and
I
and
I
started
this
new
business
climate
action
now
with
the
goal
of
creating
an
app
that
would
make
it
really
easy
for
people
like
you
and
me
to
take
climate
action
on
our
phones
in
just
seconds
and
be
rewarded.
G
I
hooked
up
with
ken
berlin,
the
executive
director
of
the
ceo
of
climate
reality.
He
was
super
excited.
I've
been
working
closely
with
the
national
organization.
Since
then
we
launched
the
app
in
april.
It's
five
star
ratings
in
both
stores,
lots
of
enthusiastic
reviews
and
the
climate
reality
is
now
next
week.
G
They've
hired
somebody
who's
full-time
job
is
going
to
be
to
introduce
the
app
to
the
entire
climate
rally
chapter
organization,
so
all
111,
plus
or
so
chapters
17
000
of
you,
you
guys,
are
kind
of
getting
in
early
and
you're,
getting
it
directly
from
us,
and
so
we're
excited
to
do
that.
So
let
me
kind
of
give
you
a
quick,
very
quick
demo
of
the
apps.
You
understand
what
what
it
is
we're
talking
about.
G
If
I
let
me
see,
if
I
have
the
ability
to
share,
I
do
okay.
Are
you
all
seeing
my
a
picture
of
my
screen
here?
My
my
phone
screen?
Yes,
okay,
super
the
app
is
a
it's
basically
a
series
of
actions
which
you
can
take
these
your
cards,
you
swipe
through
them,
and
I
want
to
show
you
just
kind
of
a
very
generic
action.
G
G
You
can
touch
the
who
button
and
see
who
all
has
taken
this
action.
A
bunch
of
people
have
done
that
and
then
you
can
also
touch
the
do
it
now
button
to
actually
do
the
do
it
now.
I
previously
have
given
the
app
my
address,
so
it
is,
it
can
look
up
automatically.
It
will
look
up
who
my
representative
is
and
all
of
in
this
case
her
contact
information,
her
phone
number
or
email,
which
is
really
her
contact
us
form
on
her
dot.
Gov
website
and
her
tweet
handle
okay,
so
notice.
G
I
don't
even
need
to
know
who
my
representative
is.
The
app
will
tell
me
who
my
representative
is
instantly
and
give
me
all
the
contact
information.
Now,
if
I
want
to
call
you
know,
representative
eshu,
who
is
my
representative,
a
lot
of
you
will
say:
well,
I
wouldn't
know
what
to
say.
Well,
that's
why
we
have
this,
what
to
say
button
and-
and
this
gives
you
talking
points
and
notice.
The
talking
points
are
personalized
with
brett
walter,
a
constituent
and
a
voter.
G
G
I
want
to
go
back
and
show
you
or
I
could
email
her
and
if
I
do
this
again,
a
personalized
message
which
I
can
review
and
I
can
edit
and
notice
the
first
sentence
here,
I'm
a
father
who
fears
for
my
family
in
a
warming
world.
This
is
a
personal
statement
which
I
put
into
the
app,
and
you
can
put
your
own
personal
statement
in
and
it
becomes
the
very
first
sentence
in
every
communication,
every
written
communication
that
you
make
with
your
representative.
G
This
is
super
important
because
it
personalizes
what
is
otherwise
a
boilerplate
message,
and
so
they
see
that
they
see
thousands
of
boilerplates
right
and
they
dismiss
it.
They
see
one
with
a
personal
message
and
that
that
puts
your
message
on
an
entirely
new
level,
and
so
we
call
this
an
email,
but
what's
really
happening
when
I
send
this,
is
that
you
you're,
probably
all
familiar.
If
you've
ever
contacted
your
your
federal
representative,
they
won't
give
you
their
email
right.
G
They
want
you
to
go
to
their
contact,
us
form
and
fill
it
out
and
that's
what
the
app
is
doing.
It's
taking
your
information
from
your
email
and
posting
it
into
that
that
contact
us
for
him
and
the
representatives
getting
in
that
fashion
and
then
also
I
could
I
can
tweet
and
what's
great
about
tweet
is
tweet
is
a
public
communication.
G
So
not
only
will
representative
eschew
potentially
see
it,
but
everybody
who
follows
me
will
see
it
and
people
who
who
don't
follow
me
sometimes
will
see
it
and
up
comes
a
message
I
can
edit
this
or
I
can
just
press
the
tweet
button,
and
now
I've
sent
the
tweet
now
the
app
will
give
me
points
for
having
taken
that
action
and
and
here's.
This
is
a
very
cool
thing
when
every
day
in
which
you
earn
at
least
a
thousand
points.
G
Those
points
count
towards
a
real
tree
and
when
you've
earned
3
000
points
tree
points,
will
my
company
will
plant
a
real
tree
on
your
behalf?
Now
we
don't
ourselves
plan
it.
Of
course
we
do
this
with
a
non-profit
called
eden,
reforestation
projects
and
they
and
what
they
do
is
they
take
our
money
and
they
pay
subsistence
farmers
around
the
world,
mainly
in
africa,
sub-saharan
africa
to
actually
plant
trees
and
care
for
them
on
their
own
land.
So
this
is
not
only
a
an
anti-carbon
project,
but
it's
a
carbon
sequestration
project,
but
it's
also
anti-property.
G
Now
the
app
also
can
say:
well,
you've
done
your
representatives.
You
want
to
contact
your
senator
I'll
say:
yes,
it
brings
up
my
senator
and
then
it
will
daisy
chain
through
that.
So
I
just
want
to
emphasize
here
notice
how
quickly
I
mean
I've
been
talking
the
whole
time,
so
it
feels
long
and
drawn
out,
but
I
can
literally
contact
all
three
of
my
federal
representatives
in
less
than
30
seconds,
with
eight
or
nine
touches
on
the
phone.
G
We
started
last
sunday
with
a
tweet
storm
tim
guiney,
who
roger
mentioned,
wrote
a
phenomenal.
This
was
like
a
michelangelo
sistine
chapter
kind,
sistine,
sistine,
chapel,
ceiling,
kind
of
effort
by
tim
guiney.
He
wrote
800
personalized
tweets,
targeting
every
u.s
senator
with
very
compelling
messages
and
images.
You'll
see
some
of
I'll.
Just
show
you
one
right
here.
So
we
took
all
those
1800
messages
we
put
them
in
the
app
app
users
are
punching
these
things
out
like
crazy.
G
So
here's
an
example:
senator
bob
casey
asked
senator
toomey
from
states
at
risk,
pennsylvania's
project
to
see
an
increase
in
severity
in
which
summers
mid,
widespread
summer,
etc,
and
so
forth
I
say
tweet
my
tweet
has
been
sent.
I
sent
the
tweet,
I
get
points
and
I
get
the
next
tweet
it's
1800
tweets,
which,
if
I
wanted
to,
I
could
pop
them
out
over
the
course
of
several
days.
G
Okay,
so
you
get
points
you
earn
trees,
oh
and
then
did
I
mention
that
when
you
contact
an
elected
official
that
counts
as
an
act
of
leadership
with
the
climate
reality
project
and
the
the
app
will,
once
you
give
the
app
your
reality
hub
id,
the
app
will
automatically
record
your
active
leadership
with
the
national
database,
so
no
more
having
to
go
to
their
form
and
fill
it
out
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
If
I
may,
I
just
take
one
more
minute:
there's
lots
lots
more
of
great
interesting
stuff.
G
G
Oh
there's
leah,
hey
there,
you
are
I'm
gonna,
like
leah's,
she's
tweeted,
a
senator,
and
this
is
really
important
stuff.
Folks,
you
want
to
get
in
there
we're
building
community
get
in
there.
Give
people
thumbs
up.
You
know
repost
their
stuff
like
it.
You
know,
put
your
picture
in
there.
You
know
for
sure.
Now,
okay
does
it
work.
G
C
G
G
G
628
acts
of
leadership
going
into
the
national
database.
So
that's
what
tim
meant
when
he
says
this
is,
and
you
can
look
here
right
now.
Chicago
holds
the
lead,
that's
because
they
haven't
the
guy.
Peter
just
spends
his
whole
life
taking
action,
but
you
know
more
typical
tim's
chapter
they've
taken
have
done
8,
000
actions,
5300
recorded
acts
of
leadership,
that's
201
on
average
per
member
and
and
they
have
a
group
as
a
group
have
earned
395
trees.
H
You
know
all
the
time,
because
that's
the
that's
the
thing,
as
I'm
sure
you
all
know,
but
before
we
did
a
campaign
to
stop
a
pipeline
in
new
york,
we're
going
to
do
a
campaign
about
regenerative
agriculture,
any
anything
and
everything
that
is
like.
You
know
we're
going
to
take
a
week
to
focus
on
this
and
we're
going
to
mobilize
our
entire
app
community
to
do
kind
of
a
tweet
storm
about
that,
and
basically
the
idea
behind
that
is
it's
like
it's
a
digital
protest.
H
Basically,
you
know
in
a
given
amount
of
time,
usually
a
week.
We
have
everybody
all
these
people
tweeting
out
similar
messages
with
similar
hashtags
and
we've
gotten
some
really
cool
results
from
that
with
the
national
grid
campaign,
we
got
some
legislators
to
sign
on
to
an
open
letter
asking
the
governor
to
review
the
order
to
allow
the
pipeline
we've
contacted
a
bunch
of
people
about
co-sponsoring
the
fossil
free
finance
act.
H
So
so
every
week,
if,
if
you
want
to,
you,
can
come
in
and
you
can
join
our
you
know
brand
new
campaign
that
we're
doing
on
whatever
issue
we're
doing
it
on.
So
that's
one,
that's
sort
of
one
big
stream
of
content
that
is
coming
your
way.
Another
is
that
we're
actually
on
the
mailing
lists
of
all
basically
every
environmental
organization
that
we
could
think
of
and
we're
putting
their
calls
to
action
into
the
app
and
putting
those
front
and
center
as
well.
So
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
like
oh.
G
Matthew
before
you
go
before
you
go
to
the
next
phase,
I
just
went
I'm
sorry
to
interrupt
you.
Yeah.
Don't
worry
going
back
to
this
idea
of
campaigns.
Folks,
if
your
chapter
is
really
passionate
about
a
particular,
you
know
project
that
you
know
that
you
really
want
to
put
a
lot
of
energy
and
advocacy
behind
you
know
we
will.
We
could
potentially
work
with
you
to
make
it
a
national
campaign
with
the
app
audience
and
all
we
need
from.
G
You
is
passion
and
ideas,
matthew
and
his
his
team
can
kind
of
convert
that
into
specific
actions
for
the
app.
But
you
know
we
we
can't
we're
a
tiny
little
team.
We
can't
do
it
all
ourselves.
We
need
partners
like
you
to
kind
of
take.
The
leadership
say
here
is
something
that
really
needs
to
be
addressed.
Now
we're
looking
for
things
that
are
urgent
things
that
can
be
measured
things
that
can
make
an
impact.
G
That's
a
regional
one,
oh
elders,
climate
action.
Now
the
is
a
national
organization.
They
are
adopting
it
for
their
entire
national
organization.
So
we
will.
We
will
put
your
campaign
at
the
top
and
bring
in
lots
of
other
organizations
to
help
you
get
momentum
behind
it.
Okay,
that
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
matthew.
H
H
Not
individual
people
correct
sorry,
but
yeah
three
to
five
thousand
messages
sent
to
influencers
about
a
topic
that
is
important
to
you.
So
we
very
much
hope
that
you
guys
will.
Let
us
know
when
you,
when
you
come
up
with
something
okay,
so
now
without
further
ado,
let's,
let's
get
the
app!
So
just
out
of
curiosity,
can
anybody
do
the
raise
hand
function
if
they
are
already
on
the
app
if
they've
already
started
the
process
of
downloading
it?
While
we've
been
talking
anything
like
that,
give
me
a
hand
raise.
H
Great
awesome
awesome,
so
so
real
fast
for
those
of
you
who
are
already
on
the
app
or
starting
to
be
on
the
app
if
you
haven't
yet
gotten
or
if
you,
if
you
have
sorry,
if
you
have
gotten
to
a
screen,
asking
you
for
an
invitation
code
and
you
have
not
entered
it.
If
you
said
skip,
then
I'd
like
to
take
a
second
to
get
you
guys
into
the
dallas
cohort
with
an
invitation
code.
So
let
me
share
my
screen.
I
H
H
And
you
should
get
this
screen,
welcoming
you
to
the
dallas
fort
worth
chapter,
go
ahead
and
give
me
a
thumbs
up
through
the
zoom
function
or
through
your
actual
screen.
If
you
have
that
perfect
awesome,
awesome
awesome,
so
then
you'll
say:
okay,
let's
go
and
then
probably
you'll
get
something
that
looks
like
this
is
that
right.
H
H
H
H
On
your
profile,
you're
going
to
go
to
the
web
address
bar
up
here
and
this
last
number
at
the
end
of
the
web
address.
That
is
your
reality
hub
id
number,
pretty
wacky,
pretty
technical.
We
do
apologize
for
that,
but
that
is
how
the
client
reality
project
wanted
us
to
to
link
up
your
guys's
accounts.
H
H
I
Thank
you,
matthew
and
brett.
That
really
sounds
like
it
could
be:
a
game
changer
and
it's
exciting
to
see
something
very
user
friendly
and
easy.
My
questions
are
pretty
basic,
but
they're
things
like
what
kind
of
corporation
is
it?
Is
it
a
non-profit,
a
b
corp?
Is
it
a
for-profit
and
what
is
the
governance
structure
in
terms
of
you
know?
Just
are
you
adhering
to
standard
good
governances
for
ngos
with
this
app?
Secondly,
privacy?
What
is
what
is
the
approach
to
privacy,
and
can
we
be
assured
that
our
privacy
is
protected?
I
One
concern
I
have
about
apps
that
just
import
all
contact
data
is
that
they're
very
problematic
from
a
privacy
perspective,
but
I
understand
that
you're
not
doing
that
you're,
basically
taking
just
a
single
slice
of
data
to
identify
our
influencer
contacts
and
allowing
us
to
tweet
and
so
forth.
Thirdly,
what
is
the
scale?
What
are
your
scale
goals?
Obviously
partnering
with
these
organizations
like
crp
the
climate
reality
project
will
help
you
scale,
but
what
what
do
you?
What
do
you
exactly
plan
to
do
in
terms
of
targets
for
scale?
I
Are
you
trying
to
get
a
million
users?
2
million
etc.
Fourthly,
how
are
you
handling
tough
issues
like
manchin's
abdication
last
night
from
the
bill
and
that's
a
key
point
of
influence,
so
I'm
really
curious
how
you're
handling
these
tough
and
potentially
divisive
issues
even
within
you
know
the
climate
action
movement
as
it
were.
Those
are
the
four
main
questions
I
have.
I
G
You
know
advocate
for
legislators
and
so
on,
which
you
can't
do
so.
I
I
opted
to
go
incorporate
as
a
for-profit,
with
the
ultimately
applying
for
a
b
corporation,
a
status
for
those
of
you
don't
know,
b
is
stands
for
benefit
and
basically
you
are
stating
publicly
legally
that
you're,
not
all
only
about
props,
also
about
people
on
the
planet,
and
so
I
am
not
taking
any
salary
to
skip
ahead
to
one
of
your
later
questions.
There's
really
just
three
of
us.
There's
me
matthew
and
an
engineer.
G
I
G
Yeah
yeah
yeah.
Oh
absolutely,
there
is
a
there's,
a
there's,
a
written
privacy
policy
which
you
can
read
the
app
only
well.
First
of
all,
I
think
the
main
thing
for
you
all
to
know
is
that
we
do
not
will
not
rent
or
sell
your
information.
You
know
to
anybody.
Absolutely
that's
a
100
percent
guaranteed
ironclad
promise
the
the
only
information
the
app
only
asks
for
information
that
it
needs.
In
order
to
do
what
you
want
to
do.
Okay,
we
need
your
email.
G
You
know
you
have
to
set
up
an
account,
but
thereafter
like,
for
example,
if
you
want
to
contact
your
federal
legislator.
Well,
then,
the
app's
going
to
ask
you:
well,
what's
your
prefix?
What's
your
address
and
so
on,
because
the
legislators
form
requires
that
information,
you
know,
and
so
we
ask
you
for
the
information
that
the
form
says
it
needs
and
then
so
that
we
can
submit
your
messages.
G
Other
app
users-
and
you
should
all
be
aware
of
this.
What
you're
doing
in
the
app
is
public?
It's
visible.
You
saw
the
community
feed.
Other
people
can
see
the
actions
you're
taking
they
can
go
to.
Let
me
just
quickly
show
my
screen
again:
they
can
go
to
your
profile
and
they
can
see
your
name
and
they
can
see
when
you
joined,
they
can
see
what
actions
you've
taken,
who
you're
following
and
who's
following
you,
but
they
do
not.
G
They
do
not
see
your
address,
they
do
not
see
your
email
address
and
or
your
physical
address
or
your
phone
number
or
anything
of
that
nature.
So
I
think
that's
and
then
you
should
also
know
that
you
know
we
are
sharing
with
your
chapter
leaders.
You
know
the
the
the
total
number
well,
the
actions
that
you've
taken
with
the
app
because
they're
they're,
wanting
to
measure
their
effectiveness
as
a
chapter
organization,
is
that.
I
That's
all
that's
all
good.
The
sort
of
related
question
is
how
strong
and
world-class
are
your
encryption
procedures
for
our
personal
identifiable
data,
the
personal
identifiable
information
pii
like
the
address,
because
with
just
three
pieces
of
the
information
you
know
somebody
hacked
into
your
system,
they
could
actually
do
identity
theft,
and
so
how
strong
is
your
physical
and
and
software's
encryption.
G
G
Well,
let
me
let
me
we,
we
will
okay,
we
we
do
we
we
we
can.
We
don't
from
everybody.
The
only
people
whose
credit
card
we
take
are
people
who
purchase
something
from
us,
and
this
is
probably
a
question
you
would
have
asked
anyway,
if
you
thought
about
it,
so
I'm
going
to
answer
it
right
up
front.
Let
me
go
back
to
the
phone
question.
Is
how
do
we
make
money?
You
know
how
do
we
survive?
Well
so
far,
it's
been
mainly
out
of
my
pocket
and
by
the
way,
folks,
I'm
not
a
billionaire.
A
G
Really
quickly
in
the
upper
left
corner
of
the
the
screen,
there's
a
support
us
button
and
when
you
touch
that
we
invite
you,
we
invite
you
to
purchase
a
subscription
from
us
and
but
we're
not
asking
for
not
we're
not
asking
for
something
for
nothing.
For
example,
if
you,
if
you
do
a
citizen
subscription
on
on
your
behalf,
every
month,
we'll
plant,
10
trees,
a
quarter
will
offset
a
quarter
metric
tons
of
your
carbon
and
we'll
preserve
500
square
feet
of
vital
ecosystem.
I
G
I
C
This
is
philippe.
I
wish
I
sponsored
you
on
vpn
I've
been
following
you
for
a
long
time
so,
and
I've
been
using
app
for
a
few
days.
One
thing
I
always
have
concern
or
issue
with
signing
petitions
or,
like
you
know,
sending
emails,
is
a
feedback
loop
of
our
feedback
of
what
happened.
So
is
there
a
positive
outcome?
There
is
no
outcome
or
anything.
So
do
you
have
any
plans
in
future
to
associate
let's
say
I
signed
up
for
like
also
or
I
signed
a
petition
for
40
things.
I
send
tweets
on
few
things.
C
G
G
Yeah
I
mean
you
know
it's
it's
it.
I
mean
to
be
honest,
pradeep,
it's
very,
very
difficult
to
draw
a
deluxe,
a
direct
line
between
something
you
do
in
the
app
and
something
happening
in
the
real
world.
It's
it's
very
difficult.
Wherever
we
can,
we
do
it
now.
The
way
we
tell
you
about
it
is
in
our
newsletter,
which
gets
sent
every
sunday.
G
So
when
you
get
the
app
you
will
be
if
you'll
get
a
confirmation,
email
saying
and
asking
you
to
click
it
a
link
to
confirm
your
subscription.
Well,
that
will
then
get
you
the
newsletter
and
and
in
in
most
of
the
newsletters.
We
have
a
section
called
success
stories
where,
whenever
we
do
know
have
any
data
about
our
success,
we
share
that
you
know
with
you,
but
I
just
want
to
say
that
in
general,
for
everybody,
the
name
of
the
game
here
is
raising
the
decibel
level.
G
You
know
is
just
talk,
talk,
yell
stream,
rant,
bang,
your
pots
and
pans,
and
each
bang
on
that
pan
isn't
necessarily
going
to
produce
a
clean
energy
performance
program.
You
know
in
congress,
but
it's
raising
the
temperature.
It's
raising
the
decimal
level
and-
and
that's
really
we
just
if
we
make
enough
noise
people
will
hear
us
and
things
will
start
to
happen.
So
that's
the
main
way
you
can.
You
got
to
keep
the
faith,
keep
going.
A
E
E
If
someone
in
the
chapter,
this
will
be
a
new
leadership
position
in
the
chapter.
If
someone
is
interested
in
being
our
point
person,
our
chapter
organizer
for
developing
these
campaigns
that
we
can
push
on
to
this
app,
please
get
in
touch
with
me
right
away,
new
position,
I
just
created
it,
but
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna
be
looking
for
somebody.
So
if
you're,
if
this
intrigues,
you
interests,
you
you
have
time
get
in
touch
with
me
right
away,
I
just
checked
it
out
with
leah
our
new
chair
who's
coming
in
she's
on
board.
E
A
This
is
your
chapter
everybody,
so
we
are
constantly
tweaking
the
organization
and
the
strategies
leah
is
going
to
take
over
and
do
some
breakout
rooms
with
us
for
25
minutes
to
see
what
your
ideas
are
for
climate
activism
in
2022,
it's
a
moving
target,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
we
understand
that
leah.
The
floor
is
yours,.
J
Sure,
thank
you,
everybody
and
thank
you
richard.
So,
as
richard
mentioned
we're
only
in
october,
but
at
the
same
time
we're
like
planning
for
next
year's
leadership
and
all
we're
also
planning
for
the
strategic
plan
and
the
goals
right,
and
so
a
lot
of
you
think
about
we
in
the
leadership
team,
like
we
make
the
decision.
That's
actually
not
quite
true.
J
We
want
you
to
be
the
decision
makers
right.
We
listen
from
you
and
one
example
is
that
the
working
group
models
now
we
have
about
seven
to
eight
different
working
groups.
Those
ideas
are
from
you
guys
and
that's
how
we
consider
us
ourselves
as
a
bottom
up
organization
right
we
do
whatever
you're
interested
in
and
we
try
to
find
a
way
to
help
you
do
it
better.
So
for
the
next
20
minutes.
J
So
the
first
question
is:
what,
in
your
opinion,
what
is
the
purpose
of
the
monthly
meetings
like
what
we're
doing
right
now
and
what
did
what
do
you
guys
want
to
see
in
the
monthly
meetings
other
than
educational
pieces
like
what
we
know
about
captain
carbon
capture?
Or
what
do
we
know
about
renewable
agriculture?
Regenerative
agriculture?
J
So
that's
the
first
one
purpose
of
the
monthly
meetings.
The
second
one
is
that
in
the
past
year
or
two,
what
obstacles
have
you
encountered
in
your
own
activism,
right
trying
to
involve
your
community
or
in
the
chapter
in
general
and
has
something
made
it
difficult
for
you
to
be
involved
in
chapter
activism?
J
How
can
we
improve
as
a
chapter?
So
these
two
are
the
two
groups
of
questions.
I
know
there
are
like
more
than
five
questions,
but
many
of
you
know
I
teach
in
colleges
and
that's
what
I
do
to
students
two
groups
of
questions
for
you
guys
to
think
about
20
minutes.
20
minutes
sounds
good,
okay,
awesome
and
then
the
executive
committee
will
take
notes
and
let
me
open
my
breakout
groups.
C
C
J
J
G
J
A
Thank
you,
leah
that
was
fun.
Okay,
a
few
announcements,
few
announcements
and
first
we're
going
to
talk
about
an
upcoming
event
at
the
federal
reserve
bank
in
dallas
on
october,
29th
and
dominique,
I
believe,
is
still
with
us
leah.
You
said
you
had
some
slides,
so
we
might
as
well
put
those
up
if
you
wish,
while
we're
talking,
we
we're
going
to
try
and
keep
each
of
the
announcements
to
two
or
three
minutes.
A
C
Well,
you're
welcome,
but
I
will
mention
there
really
isn't
an
election
to
coordinate
this
year,
but
luckily
we
have
wonderful
chapter
members
who
do
who
did
step
up.
These
are
the
candidates
we
have
anytime
there's
an
and
it
means
that
they
will
serve
as
co-chairs.
So
we
won't
actually
be
voting
between
anyone.
E
Well,
I
will
I
won't,
but
richard
you
could.
I
was
going
to
ask
for
a
motion
just
to
approve
this
this
list.
This
is
what
we
did
last
year.
We've
we've
never
actually
had
a
contested
election
in
the
history
of
the
chapter.
It's
it's
a
fantasy
and
chapter
support,
william
I'll
say
for
your
benefit
that
that
people
need
to
have
elections.
E
We
rarely
have
huge
numbers
of
people
who
want
to
serve
on
the
executive
committee,
but
we
we
manage
every
year
to
have
a
slate
of
people
who
are
very
motivated.
I'm
excited
that
we've
got
co-chairs
in
a
couple
of
crucial
committees
this
year.
I
think
going
forward
we're
going
to
be
in
great
hands.
So
if
you
would
make
a
motion
we'll
just
approve
this
list
by
acclimation.
A
A
A
A
It
says:
fossil
free
finance,
and
so
this
will
be
at
three
o'clock
on
friday
october
29th,
I'm
gonna
move
my
camera
and
we're
trying
to
finalize
the
location
there.
Might
we
were
looking
at
clyde
warren
park?
They
may
be
doing
some
construction,
so
we
may
have
to
be
on
federal
reserve
property
itself,
we're
finalizing
that
you'll
get
announcements
and
there'll
be
website
in
facebook
and
tweets
well,
maybe
not
facebook,
but
tweets
instagram
posts.
What
else
do
we
want
to
talk
about
with
regard
to
this
leah?
What's
the
second
slide.
J
Sure
so
I
just
want
to
add
on
give
me
one,
so
I
couldn't
if
I
could
move
it
sure,
so
it's
on
the
same
day
of
our
annual
40
24
hours
of
reality.
So
in
the
past
year
we
did
presentation,
we
contact
our
influencers
and
stuff
like
that,
but
this
year
the
dow
sorcerer
chapter
is
doing
an
in-person
event,
and
these
are
our
three
demands
right.
We
want
actual
and
immediate
reductions
of
greenhouse
gas
emission
ahead
of
cop26.
J
So
if
you
don't
know
about
cop26,
I
believe
many
of
you
do,
but
it's
the
first
week
of
november,
starting
on
october
30th
and
all
world
leaders
is
going
to
meet
in
scotland
and
they're
going
to
talk
about
your
commitments
and
stuff
like
that,
but
across
the
globe
and
nation,
a
lot
of
climate
organization
is
hosting
events
really
making
sure
our
leaders
here
is
loud
and
clear.
So
we
are
doing
this.
J
We
are
the
host
so
meaning
that
we
want
to
get
as
many
people
from
the
chapter
to
be
at
the
event
as
possible.
This
is
a
multi-organization
event
for
including
sunrise,
dallas,
dallas,
peace
and
justice,
center,
sierra
club
in
dallas
and
350
dallas
and
several
other
we're
still
talking.
But
these
are
three
demands,
and
so
my
call
of
action
to
you
guys
is
that
please
mark
your
calendar
today,
it's
october
29th
on
friday,
at
3
p.m.
J
Outside
of
this,
we're
still
working
to
get
a
meeting
with
someone
from
the
dallas
federal
reserve
bank
to
talk
to
them
about
our
demand,
but
this
is
more
on
the
street
and
we're
also
working
on
people
internally
in
terms
of
the
location,
as
richard
mentioned
already,
it's
probably
gonna
be
near
the
federal
reserve
property
not
on
the
property,
but
we're
going
to
be
on
the
sidewalks
and
we
may.
We
have
already
submitted
banners
orders
for
chapters
to
hold
and
we
are
going
to
do
a
sign
making
party
next
saturday.
J
A
A
I
Thank
you
richard.
It
starts
on
sunday,
november
14th
and
then
a
week
later,
on
sunday
november
21st
and
then
after
two
weeks
over
the
thanksgiving
holidays
on
december
5th,
we'll
reconvene
all
of
these
are
sunday
mornings
at
10
30
a.m.
We
debated
over
church
versus
the
nfl
games
and
the
consensus
was
go
with
the
the
sunday
morning
time
this
is
1.5
hours.
You
know,
having
taught
advocacy
and
advanced
advocacy
and
leadership
at
oxford,
stanford
and
in
asia
for
decades.
I
Now
it's
it's
basically
a
distillation
of
the
new
methods
of
advocacy,
which
are
not
just
fact-based,
which
has
been
the
dominant
method,
of
course,
of
climate
scientists.
What
is
the
science?
What
are
the
facts,
but
it's
identity
based
instead,
in
other
words,
lifting
up
the
emotional,
the
values,
the
ways.
I
In
other
words,
we
transcend
the
current
polarization,
that's
most
extreme
in
the
us,
but
it's
it's
it's
extreme
in
dozens
of
countries,
climate
change
being
the
most
polarizing
political
issue
in
the
us,
with
deniers
being
on
the
right
side
of
the
spectrum,
and
you
know
those
who
are
active
on
the
left
side
of
the
political
spectrum.
It's
also,
you
know
happening
around
the
world
and
it's
the
reason.
In
my
opinion,
this
tribalism
and
polarization
is
why
we
are
having
currently
the
stasis
in
our
politics.
I
So
in
other
words,
we've
got
to
address
not
just
the
hardcore
denialists,
but
the
soft
denialists,
including
progressives
and
climate,
aware
people
who
are
disengaged
because
they
are
overwhelmed
by
information
or
they've
tried
and
they
realize
we
are
not
moving
the
needle
we're
still
increasing
global
temperatures.
So
what
do
you
do?
You
engage
people
that
disagree
with
you
in
a
polite
fashion,
a
respectful
fashion.
You
listen,
and
this
is
relevant
not
just
for
our
presentations.
I
The
al
gore
presentation
is,
after
all,
a
powerpoint
slideshow,
that's
mainly
about
you
know
the
client
change
the
extreme
weather
events.
It's
fact
based
primarily,
although
in
the
last
couple
of
years
you
know
the
the
project
has
injected
the
idea
of
storytelling
and
emotions
and
some
values
to
some
extent,
but
it's
still
overwhelmingly
the
information
deficit
model
saying
that
if
you
have
the
facts,
if
you're
aware
you're
no
longer
scientifically
ignorant
you'll
act
well,
that
assumption
is
is
pretty
clearly
untrue.
I
Take
vaccinations
in
april
before
the
pandemic,
the
pew
poll
said
vaccinations
were
not
as
polarized
an
issue
as
climate
science.
Now
they
are,
as
you
know,
you
know
these
people
denying
the
facts
and
it's
a
whole
cluster
of
issues
that
are
evidence-based,
but
people
are
denying
the
evidence
because
they're
seeing
them
through
their
tribal
identity,
political
or
religious
perspectives,
and
if
you
can
speak
to
people's
authentic
values,
you
can
really
make
a
change.
So
the
dates
are
in
the
chat
and
we've
got.
We've
got
room
for
more
people.
I
A
K
K
Okay,
okay,
so
well,
as
many
of
you
know,
we
as
part
of
the
business
working
group,
the
climate
reality
dfw
business
working
group,
in
conjunction
with
the
harvard
alumni,
have
been
working
on
a
climate
boot
camp
for
oh
over
10
months,
started
probably
almost
a
year
ago,
the
the
initial
idea,
and
so
it
actually
launched
this
last
thursday.
That
was
the
first
session,
and
so
we've
had
about
thirteen
hundred
people
that
have
registered
for
the
program.
K
So
we
had
our
first
session,
we
have
about
four
more
lecture
sessions
and
then
working
groups
on
on
saturdays.
So
so
far
it's
been
a
really
big
hit.
Jim
nottman-
and
I
were
just
talking
in
our
breakout
session
that
we
really
enjoyed
it
so
far
and
the
goal
is
at
the
end
of
it.
So
this
is
the
beta
program.
B
Yeah
absolutely
and
we're
hoping
that
the
business
working
groups
when
we
do
presentations
to
businesses,
that
and
to
city
governments
and
so
forth,
who
want
to
do
a
strategy,
will
find
this
a
useful
vehicle
to
help
them
formulate
their
strategy.
I'll
add
a
statistic:
I
don't
have
the
europe
and
asia
attendance.
Yet
we
had
about
600
from
the
united
states
a
little
over
in
the
u.s
and
the
initial
show.
But
it's
as
you
say
it's
recorded,
so
people
have
the
ability
to
see
it.
Whenever,
once
it's
been
released,
whenever
they're
available.
A
E
E
We
were
impressed
just
two
years
ago
that
that
climate
reality
had
finally
reached
25,
000
trained
leaders,
and
then
we
were.
We
were
shocked
to
hear
last
july
that
14
000
people
had
applied
for
the
first
global
training
and
that
continued
in
august
we
had
a
training
program,
then
in
april
of
this
year,
in
the
u.s
and
then
a
latin
american
training
in
july.
E
This
is
this:
is
the
global
training
virtually
this
year
and
again,
almost
eleven
thousand.
It
was
ten
thousand
nine
hundred
and
ninety
something
people
applied
for
this
training.
There's
every
reason
to
think
that,
by
the
time
this
training
is
done
next
weekend,
climate
reality
will
be
somewhere
between
43
and
45
000
trained
leaders
we're
now
in
171
countries
up
from
152
just
a
year
and
a
half
ago.
E
So
as
as
the
organization
is
saying,
this
is
this
is
our
moment
several
people
in
the
chapter
are
involved
in
in
mentoring.
I
do
want
to
give
a
shout
out
again
to
jim
nottman,
who
wasn't
initially
selected
to
mentor,
but
one
of
my
mentors
dropped
out
and
I
immediately
recommended
jim
so
with
one
day's
notice.
E
He
has
taken
over
a
group
of
mentees
for
the
training
program,
so
it's
very
exciting
we're
bringing
in
a
lot
of
newly
trained
members
to
this
chapter
for
those
of
you
who
are
in
the
training.
I
hope
you
enjoy
it
this
evening
and
we'll
be
looking
for
ways
to
get
you
all
involved
actively
in
the
chapter
going
forward
with
that
thanks
richard.
L
L
L
Do
not
lose
heart.
We
were
made
for
these
times.
I
have
heard
from
so
many
recently
who
are
deeply
and
properly
bewildered.
They
are
concerned
about
the
state
of
affairs
in
our
world
right
now.
It
is
true.
One
has
to
have
strong,
cojones
and
ovarios
to
withstand
much
of
what
passes
for
good
in
our
culture
today,
abject
disregard
of
what
is
the
soul
finds
most
precious
and
irreplaceable,
and
the
corruption
of
principled
ideals
have
become
in
some
large
societal
arenas,
the
new
normal,
the
grotesquery
of
the
weak.
L
It
is
hard
to
say
which
one
of
the
current
egregious
matters
has
rocked
people's
worlds
and
beliefs.
More
ours
is
a
time
of
almost
daily
jaw-dropping
astonishment
and
often
righteous
rage
over
the
latest
degradations
of
what
matters
most
to
civilized
visionary
people
like
yourselves,
you
are
right
in
your
assessments,
the
luster
and
hubris.
Some
have
aspired
too,
while
endorsing
acts
so
heinous
against
children,
elders,
everyday
people,
the
poor,
the
unguarded,
the
helpless
is
breathtaking.
L
Yet
I
urge
you,
ask
you
gentle
you
to
please
not
spend
your
spirit
dry
by
bewailing
these
difficult
times,
especially,
do
not
lose
most,
particularly
because
the
fact
is
we
were
made
for
these
times.
Yes,
for
years
we
have
been
learning
practicing
been
in
training
for
and
just
waiting
to
meet
on
this
exact
plane
of
engagement.
L
I
cannot
tell
you
often
enough
that
we
are
definitely
the
leaders
we
have
been
waiting
for
and
that
we
have
been
raised
since
childhood.
For
this
time
precisely,
I
grew
up
on
the
great
lakes
and
I
recognize
a
seaworthy
vessel.
When
I
see
one
regarding
awakened
souls,
there
have
never
been
more
able
crafts
in
the
waters
than
there
are
right
now
across
the
world
and
they
are
fully
provisioned
and
able
to
signal
one
another
as
never
before
in
the
history
of
humankind.
L
I
would
like
to
take
your
hands
for
a
moment
and
assure
you
that
you
are
built
well
for
these
times,
despite
your
sense
of
doubt,
your
frustrations
in
a
writing.
All
that
needs
change
right
now
or
even
feeling
you
have
lost
the
map
entirely.
You
are
not
without
resource.
You
are
not
alone
look
out
over
the
prowl.
L
There
are
millions
of
boats
of
righteous
souls
on
the
waters
with
you
in
your
deepest
bones.
You
have
always
known
this
is
so
even
though
your
veneers
may
shiver
from
every
wave
in
this
stormy
royal.
I
assure
you
that
the
long
timbers
composing
your
prow
and
rudder
come
from
a
greater
forest
that
long
green
lumber
is
known
to
withstand
storms
to
hold
together
to
hold
its
own
and
to
advance
regardless.
L
L
L
L
Even
if
you
do
not
feel
that
you
are,
you
are
even
if
your
puny
little
ego
wants
to
contest
the
enormity
of
your
soul
that
smaller
self
can
never
for
long
subordinate,
the
larger
self,
if
you
are
still
standing,
ragged
flags
or
no,
you
are
able,
and
thus
you
have
passed
the
bar
even
raised
it.
You
are
seaworthy
in
any
dark
time.
There
is
a
tendency
to
veer
toward
fainting
over
how
much
is
wrong
or
unmended
in
the
world.
L
Do
not
focus
on
that.
Do
not
make
yourself
ill
with
overwhelm.
There
is
a
tendency
to
to
fall
into
being
weakened
by
persuading
on
what
is
outside
your
reach
by
what
cannot
yet
be
do
not
focus
there.
That
is,
spending
the
win
without
raising
the
sales
we
are
needed.
That
is
all
we
can
know
and
though
we
meet
resistance,
we
more
so
will
meet
great
souls.
L
L
L
The
light
of
the
soul
throws
sparks,
can
send
up
flares,
build
signal.
Fires
causes
proper
matters
to
catch
fire,
to
display
the
lantern
of
soul
in
shadowy
times
like
these
to
be
fierce
and
to
show
mercy,
both
our
men
are
acts
of
immense
bravery
and
greatest
necessity,
struggling
souls
catch
light
from
other
souls
who
are
fully
lit
and
willing
to
show
it.
L
L
The
reason
is
this
in
my
uttermost
bones.
I
know
something
as
do
you.
It
is
that
there
can
be
no
despair.
When
you
remember
why
you
came
to
earth
who
you
serve
and
who
sent
you
here,
the
good
words
we
say
and
the
good
deeds
we
do
are
not
ours.
They
are
the
words
and
deeds
of
the
one
who
brought
us
here.
L
A
L
I'd
love
to
so
on
november,
6
at
11
a.m,
we're
doing
a
restorative
movement
class,
I'm
going
to
be
leading
it
and
lynn.
Some
of
you
guys
may
know
lynn
will
be
helping
me.
Yes,
I
do
have
a
link
to
the
reading
I'll,
send
that
and
it's
gonna
be.
You
know
no
experience
necessary.
No
dance
experience
necessary.
None
of
that.
It
should
be
really
uplifting
connecting
just
a
way
to
get
yourself
feeling,
not
so
in
your
head
and
in
your
body
in
community
with
other
people.
L
I
C
L
L
A
C
A
I
K
I
K
So
it's
his
platform,
I
guess
so.
He
he
and
aj
put
that
together
and
then
like
manage
it
so
yeah,
it's
really
cool.
I
mean
I
had
seen
a
few
iterations
of
it,
but
I
really
like
where
it's
landed,
especially
like
I
thought
it
was
awesome.
In
the
beginning
I
hopped
onto
the
presentation
a
bit
early
but
yeah
I
loved,
like
there
was
some
videos
up
front
with
music,
very
relaxing,
so
yeah
it's
cool.
It's!
It's
amazing.
I
It
is
cool,
I
mean
there
were
some
bandwidth
issues,
but
it
you
know,
I've
attended,
ewan
events
and
you
know
other
huge
ngo
events
that
aren't
working
as
well
as
this
one,
so
they
did
a
good
job
putting
in
things
in
presentation
mode.
I
think
they
learned
that,
as
they
were
going,
that's
very
important,
very
hard
to
read
the
small
text.
Otherwise,
as
several
participants
noted
but
yeah,
it
was
very,
very
good.
