The process of forming a climate justice group is not a simple step-by-step process. It’s about working with other humans, so it can be messy & non-linear. But it is beautiful and rewarding!

Every giant tree starts its life from a small seed. Just 3 people who commit to working together, is enough to start. Some key tips for getting started:

1. Together, agree on a clear goal and purpose of your group, that motivates and unites you all.
2. Be very clear about the scale of your work. Are you organizing a climate justice community in a specific neighborhood, town, city or a region?
3. Agree your ‘way of working’ together. You could agree to start out with small, simple steps like hosting a movie screening, a discussion over a shared meal, or a meeting with a local politician, and grow from there. Or if you’re feeling confident and strong, you can dive straight in to bigger and bolder actions, like holding a protest, gathering hundreds of supporters names to pressure politicians, or making noise in local media.
