Here at Climate Reality, we live in the same
world you do and face the same challenges with the
coronavirus pandemic.
We recognize
that for many, the existential threat of climate
change has had to take a back seat for the moment,
as people deal with immediate priorities like the
health of their families, new economic anxiety,
and massive disruptions to everything we knew as
normal.
One of the many tragedies of this
pandemic is how it deepens inequality across
society, hitting poor families and frontline
communities the hardest. For those facing very
real hardships and struggles as a result and those
waiting anxiously for a loved one in a hospital
bed, our hearts are with you.
Our
challenge now is to carry the gravity of the
pandemic with us while continuing our work to
solve the climate crisis and create a truly just
and healthy future for all. We
are moving on from business as usual to follow
public health recommendations and do our part to
help flatten the curve.
Our offices are
closed, but our staff is working remotely so they
can practice appropriate social distancing and be
with their families during this time.
We’ve had to postpone two major events –
our Climate Reality Leadership Corps trainings in
Las Vegas and San Antonio – on the advice of
health experts to protect thousands of attendees
and staff.
Our chapters and branches have
canceled in-person meetings and moved to online
events.
In this spirit, we'll also
be rolling out new opportunities for you to
remotely and safely join us in working for the
change we need. If the pandemic
has anything approaching useful to give us, it’s
this: A reminder of what’s really important. A
not-so-gentle nudge to step back and see the big
picture.
With the threat of coronavirus
outside our doors, we are still working toward
giving our children a better world to live in.
After all, our future depends on it.
We will continue to work together.
