CLIMATE TEA & TALK with Elder’s Action Network – Monthly Community Conversations @ Online
Jan 7 @ 7:00 pm – Dec 8 @ 7:00 pm

ELDER’S CLIMATE ACTION  – ECA

ECA is mobilizing elders throughout the United States to address climate change while there is still time to protect the well being of our grandchildren, future generations, and all life. We are dedicated to using the power of our caring, our wisdom and our numbers to push for policies that will reduce greenhouse gases in our atmosphere to a level consistent with life thriving on our planet.

Join Us for Climate Tea & Talk – 2nd Tuesday of the Month at 6:00 PM (ET) | 3:00 PM (PT)


Make yourself a cup of tea and connect with us for a “elder hour” of casual discussion about climate change.
We can make new friends across the country and learn ways to engage from each other. For this call you will see the other participants as it is an open discussion format.
We hope you will join us for climate tea & talk!

~ NO RSVP NEEDED ~ *as this is casual conversation, these calls are not recorded

Join the Community Conversation

Last week, ECA’s Community Conversations began. Ground rules for respecting each other, and a short, guided meditation set a positive, caring tone for the meeting. Breakout groups talked about what is sustaining and engaging us, from nature walks to keeping in touch with friends and relations, and feeling gratitude for life and the environment. One attendee told about a group that made and sold fish tacos and donated the proceeds to a homeless shelter. We reflected on how the pandemic has revised our behavior, ways to take action on behalf of those suffering loss or unemployment, and how to help our adult children and grandchildren
while sheltering in place.
We hope you’ll join us for informal small group conversations where we can share ideas and stories of ways to keep up our work as elder climate activists. We’re here for you just like we’re here for the grandchildren and all future generations.

OPENING  SESSION

May 23-31

WOMEN’S CIRCLES

We are opening Humanity Rising with ten days of listening to voices of women from around the world to emphasize the imperative that women be empowered to lead in shaping the post pandemic world.



June 1-7

NEXTGEN YOUTH LEADERSHIP CIRCLES

After the women speak, we want to listen to the voices of the young for seven days to emphasize the importance of youth leadership in the new world.


June 8-19

STRATEGIES FOR CHANGE

How do we become more effective in implementing solutions? What strategies can we implement that can make a real difference?


The world has been stopped. Most of us have been in some form of lockdown, and over the next several months countries and individuals will find their own paths through the crisis.  It is clear that this virus is not going to suddenly go away. So what can we do? How can we be part of the solution?

Allow us to introduce you to Humanity Rising, a growing movement of people and organizations coming together to take counsel on how we can leverage the crisis of the coronavirus pandemic into an opportunity for human renewal and increased resilience to future challenges. It is designed to generate radical collaboration between individuals and organizations dedicated to building a better world.

You’re invited to be a part of this international coalition of over 200 leaders from diverse backgrounds and 100 partner organizations representing over 10 million individuals from around the world for the launch of the Humanity Rising Global Solutions Summit on May 22, 2020.


June 20-27

UNITY WEEK, UNITED NATIONS 75TH ANNIVERSARY

Week of celebration of the UN and international efforts to implement the UN Sustainable Development Goals


June 28 – July 8

NEW MINDSETS FOR A NEW WORLD

What new ideas and new modes of thinking are required for a sustainable and more resilient post pandemic world? How do we develop a new story for humanity?


If you can’t join the live conversations, all sessions will be recorded and you can access the complete video library.

The Summit will continue for as long as the pandemic lasts. This is important because world events are changing every day and it is imperative that we interact with events as they unfold. The world will shapeshift many times over the next months. We must be in a position to continue to adapt and evolve as the global situation does. 

The essential imperative is that we all come together in dialogue and action to ensure that the world community seizes the opportunity to rebuild beyond the pandemic in more abundant, resilient and sustainable ways, as framed by the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Humanity Rising is powered by Ubiquity. 


July 9 – July 20

SOLUTIONS MAKING A DIFFERENCE

What are people and organizations doing on the ground that are actually making a difference in people’s lives and in building sustainability?


July 21-31

STRATEGIES FOR CHANGE II

What have we learned? How can we be more effective? How do we build more powerful coalitions?


Each day, the Summit, an initiative of Ubiquity University, will convene for two hours from 8:00 – 10:00AM (PDT) | 5:00-7:00PM (CET) to engage in presentations, group dialogues and working groups, and will continue for as long as the pandemic lasts. It will feature daily TED Talks-style presentations from influential figures such as Jane Goodall, Charles Eisenstein and Vandana Shive as well interactive sessions with leaders from international organizations such as Synergos, Impact HUBS, World Economic Forum, Gaia Education, Humanity’s Team, Ideanco, Masterpeace, Age Nation, Pachamama Alliance, Global Ecovillage Network, Crowdsourcing Week, Heart Ambassadors, Davos Blockbase, and many more.

Our goal is to have hundreds of organizations participating and collaborating. Ubiquity President and Founder Dr. Jim Garrison explains, “The Humanity Rising Summit is an extraordinary opportunity to come together with like-minded people from around the world to consider how we can use this crisis to create a world that is more sustainable and resilient. We believe that nothing less than proactive radical collaboration is sufficient to create a truly new world beyond the pandemic.”


August 1-10

NEW MINDSETS FOR A NEW WORLD II

More ideas for change, more reframing of what we need to envision for a positive future.


August 11-20

Masks for Humanity presents their “Ask a Scientist Series” and Weekly “Sew-a-thon” of Masks @ online
May 29 @ 3:00 pm – Dec 18 @ 3:00 pm

Jayna Zweiman via ActionNetwork.org <info@email.actionnetwork.org>

Weekly Sew-a-thon:

Every Friday at 12 PDT / 3 EDT, makers get together to talk masks and more. If you want to connect with other makers, this is a great opportunity to stop in, listen and share. It’s relaxed, informal, and one of my favorite parts of the week. Here’s the link to register. All are welcome.

Mask Count:

We currently have 340,000 cloth masks requested! We have had requests come in from across the country, from rural and urban areas, and from organizations that serve groups disproportionally impacted by COVID-19. If there is a group you are specifically concerned about, chances are, we have an organization on our list that serves them.

Making and giving masks is an incredible opportunity to make a tangible difference in someone’s life. Check out our request list, pick a place to help, and get started! Each mask matters. Share pics along the way on instagramfacebook, and twitter.

As always, thank you for all you are doing.

In Community,

Alexis Bunten, Bioneers Indigeneity Program Director, wrote this piece to share what her and her colleagues have learned about the disproportionate effects of COVID-19 on Indigenous communities, from historical perspectives to the current reality, and to offer several ways that you can donate to these efforts.

During the Unconference, attendees will have the power to guide these conversations by choosing discussion topics and important questions at the beginning of the gathering.
