Welcome PA Climate Convergence Members!

NAVIGATING WHAT’S NEXT

Logo

We know many of you feel as uncertain as we do about what the next few years hold for us, our communities, and the planet. The Better Path Coalition and Pennsylvania Climate Convergence organizers have teamed up with our partners at No False Climate Solutions PA to offer a special series of Better Path Presents webinars we’re calling Navigating What’s Next. The series is intended to provide useful information and spark discussions about how we can continue to do our work while protecting ourselves and each other.

Knowing Your Rights is the first installment of the series. Solomon Worlds, ACLU Staff Attorney, will provide the review of our rights in a special 90 minute webinar on December 18th at 4 p.m. Register at bit.ly/bpprights.

Solomon Furious Worlds (they/them) is a Staff Attorney with the ACLU of Pennsylvania, based in Philadelphia, and focuses on policing, search & seizure issues, protest rights, free speech rights, and obtaining government records. Before that, they represented immigrant children who came to America without an adult in Michigan. Throughout their career, Solomon has advocated/organized in support of LQBTQ+ rights, Black liberation, disability justice, Palestinian liberation, sexual assault survivors, and prison abolition. They graduated from the University of Michigan Law School with a J.D. and earned two bachelor's degrees - in saxophone performance and social psychology - from the University of Iowa. 

Future topics we’re working to present include Building Power in Your Community During These Times, How to Secure Communications, and Coming Threats and Opportunities. If you have an idea for a topic you’d like to see us cover, please let us know!

In the meantime, please register for Knowing Your Rights and share the link with your networks, bit.ly/bpprights.

Organizations, please sign our letter to Governor Shapiro

The Better Path Coalition, PA Climate Convergence, and No False Climate Solutions PA are circulating a letter to Governor Shapiro that opens,


We are experiencing the clash of two climate crises. This year is already the hottest on record.  Global temperatures have exceeded the 1.5 degree Celsius threshold climate scientists have warned us to avoid. According to NOAA’s Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters list, Pennsylvania has endured 11 disasters totaling $1.1 billion in 2024, and those figures do not include the recent prolonged drought or resulting brushfires.

As this is happening, our political climate is also in crisis.


We are calling on Governor Shapiro to lead on climate. Pennsylvania is the second largest producer of natural gas while it ranks nearly dead last in transitioning to renewable energy. Organizations are invited to sign the letter we’ll deliver in January. You can read the letter and sign it here.


We are encouraging individuals to sign the climate petition that continues to get signatures. We’ve topped 27,000 signatures already! Please sign and share the petition here: https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/pennsylvania-needs-an-aggressive-climate-action-plan
