4. I have a hunch that having community is key for most people being able to act on climate. Climate is so big and so scary that it can feel unbearable and not possible if we think/feel like we're alone (even if we aren't).
5. Another ingredient may be some kind of path where people see possibility and action happening. So a group or a person they trust will have some kind of impact, even if it's small, if they join with them. Being inspired by others' bravery also seems to have an impact.
6. Another: deep listening. So many things are possible when people have a chance to be deeply listened to. For them to have a chance to process devastating news, to talk about where they feel powerless or alone or scared or heartbroken.
7. Maybe oppression has meant that you and your people have always been fighting climate. Is there anything you'd like to share? If not, how were you able to shift into climate activism? Or into prioritizing climate if you're a journalist, writer, scientist, academic, etc?
8. In other words, what made it possible for you to really engage with climate? For you to prioritize it in your life and actions? I'm curious what other's experiences are going from absorbing news about climate, to really taking it on. Can we learn from this and scale it out?
9. We all want climate justice & engagement to explode exponentially. Many of us are frustrated & baffled that our loved ones & community aren't already prioritizing climate. Let's think about ways to make this possible. To remove barriers with love and compassion and listening.
Feel free to tag people new to climate and those have been around for a while. Anyone you think would be good for this discussion! And thanks again for the idea, @AyadeLeon! And for your original thread, @MaryHeglar!
