The climate crisis calls for community
…and Climate Action Club is answering.
Join us for the Climate Action Club Launch Party: A Gathering for Connection, Imagination, and Community Power. This evening celebrates the official launch of Climate Action Club as a nonprofit — and the beginning of a new kind of climate community rooted in relationships, reflection, and collective momentum.
We believe community is a climate solution — and this event is a space to experience that in action. Expect thoughtful conversation, joyful connection, and creative expression. We’ll kick off with a talk featuring Kiana Kazemi and David Jay, explore an interactive art installation, contribute to Wabi Blobi’s community canvas, and engage in small-group discussions spanning climate tech, policy, organizing, and culture. Light bites and drinks will be served.
If you’re seeking a climate community that centers care, creativity, and collective imagination this is your invitation.
Tickets are $10 and help cover refreshments and photography. Space is limited; register soon!
