POSTINGS TO OUR LIST
October 27
Dear climate coordinators,
this is a short report about how I did thematize climate (cl.) emergency
and cl. coordination in a community gathering in Berlin / Germany with
ARP Carsten Filor leading the gathering - and requesting me to do lead
this short input.
I held a short talk about
* how early defeats capture us in feelings of isolation, hopelessness
& powerlessness,
* how we can use the gathering for discharging early defeats (Carsten
did also talk about it before in the gathering - very helpful!),
* why "cl. change" is a trivialization and "cl. emergency" says more
about reality,
* what the role of cl. coordinators is and how RCers can make use of them.
Then we did a mini about connection and about discharging early defeats.
It worked very well. I learned from Diane the "easy" tone, that opens up
the climate topic to people - understanding, that it is first of all
about themselves and their development. It was not the first time, that
participants told me after, that now they understand the connection
between the unbearable feelings around the cl. topic and the early
acquired, chronic material they carry.
It satisfies me as cl. coordinator, when people start to have ideas, how
to move forward with feelings and thoughts around the cl. emergency and
understand it as a chance to overcome massive obstructions (feelings).
To the list readers: I would be happy if you also share your approaches
to the role as cl. coordinator.
Kind regards from Germany

Hello fellow climate-co-ordinators! We need a short form, maybe CCs?
I am CC for middle-class - CC for MC.
At the meeting my good and new was that I'd just finished an article I hope
will be in Present Time. Actually it's not really by me, it is a transcript
which I have edited of two meetings of our international middle-class team.
The members talk about what they see happening in their countries. It is
very interesting and widens our perspective. I see this as part of my job
of trying to encourage middle-class co-counsellors (including me) to
realise how little we know, to face reality about what's happening in the
world, and to commit ourselves to the shared effort to change it.
With love to all,
Caroline New

Dear DianeI have tried enlightenment program on environment. It worked initially, but because I don't empower them, they stopped attending. Our people really need to appreciate their environment so as to take care of it. LoveNgozi OkoloNigeria/ West Africa.

Thanks Diane for inviting us to write.
I’m the climate co-ordinator for the Kent and Sussex Coastal region in England. I lead
a monthly support group for everyone in the region to discharge and think
about the climate emergency.
We’ve been looking at the Unified Goal for Climate, discharging on the
highlighted part and also working on ending other oppressions.
Last month I did a report back from Tim Jackin’s workshop on the Unified
Goal.
This month we’ll be doing a Think and Listen.
What’s working is that, after a year of meeting, the people who regularly
attend the support group are moving forward on the subject.
One of my challenges is figuring out the best way to keep the balance with
working on early material, while also looking at the current situation
around the climate crisis.
Love

I am the climate emergency co-ordinator for the West London Region. Our group meets once a month at two different times so everyone can get to it at least every second month. We are a mixed class group, including a working class man who is learning to install solar panels. Everyone from all social classes are becoming more enthusiastic about the group.
Our RRP is beginning to take more interest in the climate and the unified goal. In our recent Regional Teachers and Leaders workshop my assistant and I were given time to discharge in front of the workshop and talk about the group.
We are discharging towards our five year plans. We started by looking at what our personal lives might be like in five years, then looking at what might be the climate situation in five years. Having laid this groundwork we started to look at how our activism needs to move in the five years ahead.

Hello fellow Climate Coordinators,
Summary: Here are the specifics of how I used Think and Listens and formed
a Regional Climate Team to move our community forward in the past year. Basic
ideas like aiming for thinking and tracing our feelings about the crisis to
early sources have needed patient guidance.
Report:
My highlights of being part of the Climate Coordinators group have been the
sense of community and compassion for all of us, as we try so hard to meet
this climate challenge. And the many good ideas of what we’re trying.
Here’s a report of what I’ve tried in the Wisconsin region of the US.
I started about a year ago, inviting anyone to join me who wanted to do
Think and Listens on the climate. Only one person did, but we did it for
several months, mostly weekly.
I learned that I need to teach people the difference between a session and
a Think and Listen. I gave us questions for us to focus on, allowing us to
let our minds go where they want to go. Since we’d have a mini either
before and after—we experimented—we were to mainly keep reaching for what
we think, even if it begins with “I don’t know.” It wouldn’t be trying to
access our feelings, it would be to try to keep reaching for our thinking. I
needed to actively help the person who joined me, and she appreciated my
helping her steer her mind out of her anger and discouragement. We both
agreed that it’s different from what we’re often trying to do with sessions.
The kinds of questions I used were things like: “What do I think is
effective in talking with people about the climate crisis?”, “Who would I
want to talk about it with?”, “What have I already done?” “What would I
like to do?”, “Where have I seen climate change and racism linked?” “What’s
next for me?” Our responses were really interesting!
We had two rounds of either 5 or 10 minutes apiece, often with two
different questions, plus one mini of 10 minutes. We tried to keep our time
together limited to 45 minutes.
Then when I became a Climate Coordinator, Diane encouraged us to involve
more community members. So I offered a monthly 90-minute group to
discharge and see what we can do. We’ve had monthly meetings since
February.
The first four times were open meetings; different people came each time.
After the Climate Coordinators workshop I invited those who were willing to
make a four-month commitment to form a Regional Climate Team. I wanted
them to decide to be together. Ten of us attended out of our very small
region, partially because I followed up with all those who'd not RSVP'ed.
They all joined.
I give them at least one assignment to do during the month. One was to
counsel directly on the climate situation in at least one session for the
month, and to look at the early material the feelings are connected to. I
was surprised to find that it was hard for many to do that. So in the next
class I sent them off to do a mini on it and then share with the group what
they identified. My goal is they do it regularly and ask their counselors
to do it with them. And to use Think and Listens with people in their
lives.
I’ve been using Present Time articles, notes from workshops, webinars and
our Climate Coordinators Calls for encouragement and guidance. Last time I
asked people to go into minis and review all that we have to offer, of the
many RC principles and methods we have learned, to bring to the climate
crisis. Then select one that they would like to focus on this month. Everyone
had something different; mine was to use articles in Present Time to keep
my perspective—and to share what I’ve learned with others. Homework
completed! :-)
With love,

Think and Listen group at our July 1st workshop
We were thinking about next steps as climate coordinators.
These are some of the ideas.
· Staying connected to home. One idea is to grow food which helps
give hope to people.
· Participate in the African Climate Week, and lead about women
putting their thinking forward
· Discharge on not having what we need.
· Hiking – it helps connect to people
· Have a goat that dies of old age!
· Work with people in the region to set goals, in particular 5 year
plans.
· Make decisions about what is strategic to have as a focus and
goals about. Not try to do everything – don’t have a mosaic of efforts.
· Ask friends what they think she’d love as a goal
· Work on building a local young people’s movement around climate
and inviting them into the center of the work.
· Find a buddy in her group to work with.
· Don’t take on all the roles. Let someone else organize, maybe
someone else lead.
· Get people discharging on taking action
· Set up a drop-in discharge group about taking action
· Discharge on the racism she’s being targeted with.
· Rest but have a timeline to return to the work.
· Put things into the calendar so that she doesn’t take on too many
things.
· Get other people to do things.
· Discharge on disappointment with other people not doing more.

Hi all!
Here are some thoughts from our "Think and Listen" at the July 1 Climate Coordinators Workshop:
Regional group of RC folks who want to take climate leadership. How to proceed, monthly meetings, discharge and plan. In and out of RC.
How I can be of support to leaders taking action. Back leadership for open evenings about Climate and Social Justice
Area summer class series on climate - support the teacher for the class
Work with regional leaders and ARPs about how we can work on climate in ongoing classes
Learn more about the electrical grid and issues related to integrating renewable energy such as solar
Create a team at work that is tight and where people can share their thinking related to climate action
Gravitate towards activity that helps me to connect with nature
Reach out to my list of RCers in my region by the end of July
Continue climate support group/Wygelian group combo to have a mix of discharge feelings and thinking/taking action
Have regular involvement with a local summer program for high schoolers from diverse backgrounds
Revise my 5 year plan including notes on what I've done well, make changes based on what I've learned
Decide to focus on fewer projects and make them larger, my role larger

Bonjour les très chers leaders.
C'était très bien pour moi de faire partie de cette rencontre du programme
des coordinateurs du climat.
C'est un moment d'inspiration pour moi d'écouter ce que les autres ont
fait. et me faire plus d'expérience sur ce que j'avais déjà fait.
Et me décharger plus ici et avoir plus de la force pour encourager mes
collègues du climat de ma région du Togo.
C'est très inspirant.
Mon opinion c'est de continuer à construire des relations solides dans
l'esprit des objectifs unifiés.
Pour communiquer de bouche à oreille avec nos voisins immédiats, et dans
nos rencontres en ligne pour que tous le monde s'imprègne bien au
programme du climat.
Pour que cela ne se passe pas sur une seule personne.
Donc sur ce nous les leaders du climat du Togo ,
Et tous les leaders du climat du Bénin .
nous avions décidé de continuer à travailler entre nous mêmes,et faire
plus de séances des décharges. régulièrement pour nous encourager sur tous
les idées qui peut nous aider à s'exercer pour finir avec les différents
problème catastrophiques d'inondation d'eau pluviale.
Au Togo et au Bénin .
et nous allons continuer à promouvoir la plantation d'arbres dans nos pays
pour la protections de l'environnement. avec un programme durable. Sans
oublier tous les leaders du climat. Pour une meilleure avenir
Merci :a Mr Tim, Mme Diane et a Mme chioma pour le fait nous permettre de
venir à cette atelier des coordinateurs du climat.
Une fois encore merci avec mes respect et amour.

Hello dear leaders.
It was very good for me to be part of this meeting of the
climate coordinators program.
It's an inspiring moment for me to listen to what others have done.
and get more experience of what I've already done.
And to unburden myself more here and have more strength to encourage my climate
colleagues in the climate of my region of Togo.
It's very inspiring.
My opinion is to continue building strong relationships in the spirit
spirit of unified goals.
To communicate by word of mouth with our immediate neighbors, and in our
and in our online meetings, so that everyone is well immersed in the
climate program.
So it's not just about one person.
So here's to us, the climate leaders of Togo,
and all the climate leaders in Benin .
we decided to continue working amongst ourselves, and to hold more
more dumping sessions. regularly to encourage each other on any ideas
ideas that can help us work out how to deal with the various
catastrophic problems of rainwater flooding.
In Togo and Benin .
and we will continue to promote tree planting in our countries
with a sustainable program. Without
all climate leaders. For a better future
Thank you :to Mr Tim, Ms Diane and Ms chioma for allowing us to come to this
to come to this workshop of the climate coordinators.
Once again, thank you with all my respect and love.

It's always an awesome timeout with other climate coordinators as I get
more inspired learning what others are doing.
*My Highlight:*
My major highlight is thinking about my next step as a Climate Coordinator.
This made me write a more comprehensive blog (
https://chijiokeagbaeze.wordpress.com/2023/07/04/my-next-step-as-a-climate-coordinator-ending-flooding-in-nigeria/)
that should hopefully serve as a recommendation to address flooding
disaster in Nigeria. I hope it gets the attention of the elected federal
officials. So that they take a more proactive Climate action.
Thank you, Tim, Diane, mummy Chioma, for the privilege to do this.
With Love,

Dear Climate Coordinators,
[English below and 日本語下]
Nous sommes ravis de nous présenter en tant que coordonnateurs du climat
pour les personnes handicapées en RC.
Moi, Umi, je suis une fière personne handicapée de deuxième génération
originaire du Japon. Je vis à Ōtepoti (Dunedin), Aotearoa
(Nouvelle-Zélande) en ce moment. J'ai grandi à RC et je suis dans la
communauté depuis 15 ans depuis l'âge de 11 ans.
Moi, Ruth, je suis une aînée juive aveugle et blanche vivant en Californie
aux États-Unis. J'ai été enseignant RC et leader de la libération juive
pendant de nombreuses années, et je suis actuellement une personne de
référence de la région.
Nous invitons tout RCer qui s'identifie comme une personne handicapée ou
souffrant d'une maladie chronique, et qui travaille ou aimerait travailler
pour mettre fin à la crise climatique, à nous contacter.
Nous voulons organiser notre circonscription bien-aimée pour faire face à
la crise climatique et à ses impacts sur nos vies en tant que personnes
handicapées. Nous voulons nous soutenir mutuellement en prenant des mesures
audacieuses en utilisant l'objectif unifié sur le climat qui a été adopté
par la communauté RC en août 2022.
Lorsque vous nous écrivez, veuillez nous en dire un peu plus sur vous,
votre relation avec la libération du handicap et votre lien avec la crise
climatique. Nous pourrons alors réfléchir à la manière dont nous pouvons
nous soutenir mutuellement pour être des défenseurs plus puissants de
l'épanouissement de toute vie.
Umi Asaka (umi.asaka.59@gmail.com<mailto:umi.asaka.59@gmail.com>) et Ruth
Hartman (ruth@wordcrft.com<mailto:ruth@wordcrft.com>)
Voici la section de l'objectif unifié :
*Mettre fin à l'oppression des personnes handicapées*
Les personnes handicapées sont touchées de manière disproportionnée par la
crise climatique. Ils sont plus susceptibles d'être déplacés, blessés ou
tués. Ce sont souvent les plus pauvres des pauvres.
Les personnes handicapées modèlent également la coopération et la connexion
essentielles pour faire face à la crise climatique et assurer l'avenir de
l'humanité.
La communauté RC s'engage à mettre fin à l'oppression des personnes
handicapées en se déchargeant des blessures qui dévalorisent la vie des
personnes handicapées et limitent notre vision de ce que c'est que d'être
humain. Nous nous engageons également à établir des liens avec les
personnes handicapées et à apprendre d'elles.
We are excited to introduce ourselves as the climate coordinators for
disabled people in RC.
I, Umi, am a proud second generation disabled person originally from Japan.
I live in Ōtepoti (Dunedin), Aotearoa (New Zealand) at the moment. I was
raised in RC, and have been in the community for 15 years since I was 11
years old.
I, Ruth, am a blind, white, Jewish female elder living in California in the
United States. I have been an RC teacher and Jewish Liberation leader for
many years, and am currently an Area Reference Person.
We invite any RCer who identifies as a person with a disability or chronic
illness, and who is working or would like to work to end the climate
crisis, to be in contact with us.
We want to organize our beloved constituency to face the climate crisis and
its impacts on our lives as disabled people. We want to support each other
in taking bold action using the Unified Goal on the Climate that was
adopted by the RC Community in August, 2022.
When you write to us, please let us know a bit about yourself, your
relationship to disability liberation, and your connection to the climate
crisis. We will then be able to think about how we can support each other
to be more powerful advocates for the flourishing of all life.
Umi Asaka (umi.asaka.59@gmail.com<mailto:umi.asaka.59@gmail.com>) and Ruth
Hartman (ruth@wordcrft.com<mailto:ruth@wordcrft.com>)
Here is the section of the Unified Goal:
*Ending the oppression of disabled people*
Disabled people are disproportionately impacted by the climate crisis. They
are more likely to be displaced, injured, or killed. They are often the
poorest of the poor.
Disabled people also model the cooperation and connection essential to
addressing the climate crisis and assuring the future of humanity.
The RC Community commits to ending the oppression of disabled people by
discharging the hurts that devalue disabled people’s lives and limit our
view of what it is to be human. We also commit to building connections with
and learning from disabled people.

統一目標のセクションは次のとおりです。
*障害者への抑圧を終わらせる*
障害者は気候危機によって不釣り合いな影響を受けています。彼らは避難したり、負傷したり、死亡したりする可能性が高くなります。彼らは多くの場合、貧しい人々の中で最も貧しい人々です。
障害者はまた、気候危機に対処し、人類の未来を保証するために不可欠な協力とつながりのモデルでもあります。
RC
コミュニティは、障害のある人々の人生の価値を下げ、人間とは何かという視点を制限する心の傷を取り除くことによって、障害のある人々の抑圧を終わらせることに尽力します。また、障害のある人々とのつながりを築き、障害のある人々から学ぶことにも取り組んでいます。

SUMMARY
Introducing myself as climate coordinator for middle class. I think our
role of keeping things going so that profits continue to be made applies to
the climate. We use our skills to pretend that the crisis is not as bad as
it really is. I want to encourage middle-class leaders everywhere to run
workshops, webinars and classes about this. If we can discharge our fear
and despair, and give up any way in which we minimise the crisis, we will
be able to face the facts full of hope and connection.
ZUSAMMENFASSUNG
Ich stelle mich als Klimakoordinator für den Mittelstand vor. Ich denke,
dass unsere Rolle, die Dinge am Laufen zu halten, damit weiterhin Gewinne
gemacht werden können, auch für das Klima gilt. Wir nutzen unsere
Fähigkeiten, um so zu tun, als sei die Krise nicht so schlimm, wie sie
tatsächlich ist. Ich möchte Führungskräfte aus der Mittelschicht überall
dazu ermutigen, Workshops, Webinare und Kurse zu diesem Thema zu
veranstalten. Wenn wir unsere Angst und Verzweiflung ablegen und jede Form
der Verharmlosung der Krise aufgeben können, werden wir in der Lage sein,
den Tatsachen voller Hoffnung und Verbundenheit zu begegnen.
RÉSUMÉ
Je me présente comme coordinateur climatique pour la classe moyenne. Je
pense que notre rôle, qui consiste à faire en sorte que les choses
continuent à aller de l'avant pour que les profits continuent à être
réalisés, s'applique au climat. Nous utilisons nos compétences pour
prétendre que la crise n'est pas aussi grave qu'elle ne l'est en réalité.
Je souhaite encourager les leaders de la classe moyenne à organiser des
ateliers, des séminaires en ligne et des cours sur ce thème. Si nous
parvenons à nous débarrasser de notre peur et de notre désespoir, et à
renoncer à toute forme de minimisation de la crise, nous serons en mesure
de faire face à la réalité, pleins d'espoir et de liens.
RESUMEN
Me presento como coordinador del clima para la clase media. Creo que
nuestro papel de mantener las cosas en marcha para que se sigan obteniendo
beneficios se aplica al clima. Utilizamos nuestras habilidades para fingir
que la crisis no es tan grave como realmente es. Quiero animar a los
líderes de la clase media de todo el mundo a que organicen talleres,
seminarios web y clases sobre este tema. Si podemos descargarnos de nuestro
miedo y desesperación, y abandonar cualquier forma de minimizar la crisis,
podremos enfrentarnos a los hechos llenos de esperanza y conexión.
TEXT
Dear all,
I'm excited to take on the role of climate coordinator for middle-class. I
haven't got moving on it yet, but I have recently been doing climate work
in SAL and in our region (Cornwall and SW England) that has helped me think
about what we need. But I want to hear from others about that too. If you
are a leader of middle class, or a middle-class leader, I am likely to
contact you to ask for your thinking. No need to wait if you have ideas
already - get in touch.
I am a white woman aged 77, a grandmother of three, living in Bristol,
England. Since I retired from lecturing in a low ranking university, where
I led the trade union branch, I have focused on climate activism and on
writing so-far-unpublished political novels. I have been doing middle-class
work in RC for over 30 years. I love it. Seán Ruth (our ILRP) points out
that there's no such thing as 'middle-class liberation' - the only
liberation for the middle class as a class will be the ending of class
oppression and the lies and divisions that go along with it. But I can
guarantee that middle-class work in RC is *personally *liberating. It has
made a huge difference to me.
The middle class has the role of making society run efficiently and of
calming and containing conflict. We have been bribed and threatened into
doing this, and the main group that benefits is owning class, a small
proportion of the population. How do we play out our role in the climate
emergency? As an activist, talking to many people in the street and
elsewhere, I find middle-class people skilled in greenwash and denial.
'Greenwash' means pretending to be protecting the natural world while
actively destroying it. We middle class have been 'highly' but narrowly
educated, so we are not usually outright climate deniers. But 'greenwash'
is a form of denial. I hate to see my people using our skills to speak up
for airport expansion, writing to defend new fossil fuel extraction,
pretending that the danger is less than it really is.
I believe we all do some of this, because it's difficult to discharge
enough to face the truth without losing hope and connection. I hope in my
role as climate co-ordinator to work with leaders of middle-class to plan
workshops, webinars, evenings and so on to get people discharging all the
old distress that makes us willing to play our old role of pretending that
it is possible to go on with 'business as normal'.
I am looking forward to hearing (and learning) from you and helping you
think what you can do to get middle-class RCers active, determined, hopeful
and connected.
Much love,
Caroline New

Dear Climate Coordinators,
I am one of the Climate Coordinators for Jews (together with Cherie Brown
and Julie Saxe-Taller). I posted the following note to the Jewish list and
am posting it here as well:
With the adoption of the Unified Climate Goal at the World Conference last
August, Cherie Brown, ILRP for Jews, has been actively engaged in moving
the work on climate forward for Jews in RC.
In January, following up on results from a survey posted to the Jewish
list, Cherie and Rachel set up support groups for Jews to discharge on the
climate emergency. There are a total of seven support groups. One support
group is focused on discharging specifically on the Unified Climate Goal.
The other six support groups are focused on discharging on doing climate
work as Jews in the wide world and bringing RC tools to wide world climate
work.
These support groups are one way that Cherie is helping us prepare for the
international workshop on Jews and the Climate Emergency that will be
co-led by Cherie, Janet Kabue, and Diane Shisk on zoom on October 20-22,
2023.
Recently, leaders of these support groups met with Cherie to share and
discharge about how it has been going in these groups.
Here are some things we shared about what we are trying in our groups and
what we are learning about this work:
- It can be useful to start with what we love about the earth and about
nature.
- We have been discharging on the following questions: What have you
been doing on climate? What do you want to do? Where do you need a hand?
- Noticing that we have each other and that we get to remember each
other as we do this work. Connection is the most important thing.
- We did a "Think and Listen" on what has been going well, what are
lessons learned, and where do you struggle.
- Where does anti-semitism surface in the work and confuse us -- both
the Internalized Oppression and external anti-Semitism?
- Some key issues people worked on center around being visible and
facing terror and discouragement.
- The issue of unity is very key for the climate initiative.
- Some in the group are scared active and some are scared passive.
- The importance of having non-Jewish allies in the work.
- Giving people time to pay attention to the extreme weather people are
experiencing locally.
- Discharging on what our actual security is, as Jews, and the pull
towards upward mobility. Seeing relationships as our real security.
Discharging on the possibility of saying no to anything that we don't
actually need.
Love,
Rachel Landsberg

parfois ses différents types de difficultés nous transforme a une
expérience qui nous aide à comprendre mieux notre environnement pour mieux
agir positivement. Au sujet du changement climatique .
tous les leaders des communauté Au Togo sont des personnes clé où les
chefs de la circonscription du climat au Togo.

HOKAMETO MISSIGBE
PERSONNE DE CONTACT EN RC TOGO.Good evening dear leaders of the climate coordinator program
I am HOKAMETO MISSIGBE, coordinator of climate activities in Togo.
For the necessary information on the concrete achievements of the climate
climate activities in RC and outside RC in Togo.
First of all, we are two coordinators in Togo.
my brother Léonard Aboboyaya kokouvi
and me HOKAMETO
MISSIGBE.
We work in perfect harmony to manage climate activities in
Togo from the capital to the interior.
(Mr Léonard Aboboyaya kokouvi is currently resting.
accident that kept him on site for a while. My health is getting
better and better with the sessions and rehabilitation).
Ok now I'm here to present you with the real facts
of the activities of the climate coordination chez moi moi in Togo.
At home in Togo
there are respective communities.
from the capital to the interior of the country.
To better achieve the realization of cooperation activities in all
respective communities in Togo.
we already have a group of community leaders at home and we are
and we're bringing the leaders together.
And at the start of our meeting, I began by passing on information about
all the necessary guidelines from the RC international community .
on why it's important to work and be supported
in our country Togo
to have teams of capable people in each community to
organize :
events inside and outside RC .
listening circles and sessions between us members. and also
issue invitations to all friends in the respective localities to the
Gathering of the meetings of the activities of the climate of each community.
So in our unified goal. in Togo
We already have a group of leaders from each community.
and we meet once a month to discuss climate coordination activities in Togo.
climate coordination in Togo.
In our meetings, we always continue to raise awareness and
encouragement .
because in reality it's not easy. the concrete realization of climate
activities. So we've been doing the sessions of our discharges
on several points, to get to know each other,
fears, and appreciations. and all the difficulties that bother us to
to make our realizations on the subject of climate.
(Experience) i.e. after the sessions there's always a new idea
there's always a new idea that comes along to strengthen us and all goes well
with joy.
sometimes these different types of difficulties transform us into an
experience that helps us better understand our environment so we can better
act positively. On the subject of climate change .
all community leaders in Togo are key people where the
heads of Togo's climate constituency.
(Another topic I've already covered...
May 23, 2023
I invited the friends of a district for the reasons to find the solution
of rainwater runoff in the dévé a djagble neighborhood. To avoid
the flooding of rainwater in the neighborhood of dévé djagble . I will send
photos.
Tree planting has already been done since last year 2023 .
on the public sites of kpogan with friends in Lomé.
I'm planning to plant another 50 trees this June
in a village of Commune des Lacs on the weekend of June 9 and 20, 2023 with
friends apart from RC you will have images after the realization in which
future day.

Hello coordinators,
In Seattle, we are organizing RCers to join and support an Earth Day march to support strong proposed local climate legislation to reduce emissions in big buildings (one third of our GHG emissions and the fastest growing source) and fight opposition from large corporate offices in our downtown area. Individuals who are part of other organizations will march with their organizations, but many RCers are marching together as SAL/UER.
The Areas and Regions are still mostly meeting on Zoom, and still in the process of developing their policies for meeting in person. We decided that for this march, it will be up to each individual whether or not to mask, and how close to be to others.
I sent out the following to the local Community:
"I see participating together in this march as a way to inform RCers about the Unified Goal (see bolded paragraph from the goal below), give us a chance to discharge about putting this paragraph of the goal into action, and show up in a meaningful way to an important climate action:
We in the RC Community commit ourselves to encouraging and supporting every one of us to act against and discharge any distress that might keep us from playing an active role, as large and radical as necessary, to resolve the climate emergency. For most of us, this will involve uniting with others to publicly oppose irrational policies and visibly support rational solutions.
I think we could offer Co-Counselors several options of how they could participate, based on what makes sense given their experience with climate actions and whether they bring a friend or not.
1. RCers could have an RC buddy that they do mini-sessions with throughout the march. Their focus is on discharging about being a part of the action.
2. RCers could have an RC buddy that they work together with to listen to other people participating in the march or watching from the sidelines. (Listening Projects)
3. RCers could bring a friend (not an RCer) new to climate actions. Their focus for the march is that relationship, and helping their friend understand RC/SAL/UER.
4. RCers who attend with their children, and RC allies for the family groupings.
5. RCers who carry our banners.
Those of us going will meet an hour before to discharge, divide up the different roles, and prepare for the listening projects we will do to engage people standing on the sidewalks and watching the march. Here are the questions we will use for the listening projects.
— How concerned are you about climate change?
— Should Seattle/Washington State continue to be leaders on climate policy?
— What are your main concerns regarding climate change?
— Do you think we are in a climate crisis / climate emergency?
— How are you impacted by the climate crisis?
— Do you think the climate crisis affects everyone equally?
— Do you think racism is related to the climate crisis?
— Who do you think is profiting from the climate emergency?
— Who should pay to fix the climate crisis?
We will also bring some 11 x 17 versions of our favorite climate cartoons to attach to the back of the signs, along with some SAL prints. We’ll meet for an hour after to discharge as well.
We have a good description of a listening project and are working on the 1/4 page flyer we will hand out, to be posted here <https://www.rc.org/publication/environment/march_resources>.
Hope to see you Friday or Saturday at the climate coordinators monthly meeting.
Friday, April 21, 8 - 9:30pm Seattle (1 pm Sydney, 12 noon Tokyo, 6 am Nairobi)
or
Saturday, April 22, 8 - 9:30am (4 pm London, 6 pm Nairobi, midnight Tokyo)

Je suis très heureux de rejoindre le groupe des coordinateurs du climat.
Mon pays le TOGO est dans une situation dramatique en ce moment de la
saison des pluies.
Nous vivons depuis plus de dix ans dans des situations diverses
La montée des eaux marines
Le changement climatique
La pandémie de grippe et autres maladies infectieuses pandémiques. La mer
est au dessus de la ville de Lomé. C'est une menace pour les habitants et
les villes qui jongent au bord de la mer.
Tous ces gens seront dans les années à venir des déplacés climatiques dans
leur propre pays. En plus les riverains sont obligés de vivre des
expériences qui menacent la survie de leur existence. La terre ne produit
pas et la pêche aussi. Les eaux sont salées compte tenu de la montée. La
pénurie des denrées alimentaires de base sont rares et chères. Car
l'agriculture est devenue difficile la terre est aride. Dans cette
situation la pluie ne suive pas la pluviométrie originale. En ce moment ou
j'exprime mon désarroi des habitants des zones urbaines sensibles à
l'inondation sont à la merci de tous les fléaux.
Le social n'existe pas.
Les maladies infectieuses et pandémiques sont à l'origine. Je suis très
touché et ému en regardant tous ces désastres écologiques qui menacent la
survie des espèces animales et végétales qui sont en voie de disparition.
Dans l'espoir de remédier à ce drame mes membres de mon secteur et moi nous
descendrons sur le terrain pour apporter nos aides en les inculquant nos
outils de la Co-écoute sur le changement climatique et la protection de
l'environnement.
Je suis déterminé à protéger l'environnement et la sensibilisation des
membres de mon secteur à jouer ce rôle d'activistes que nous sommes.
Dans l'espoir de nous retrouver ensemble bientôt veillez recevoir mes
compliments

Hello all,
The IPCC report was just released and you can read the press release here. It is the final report of the Sixth Assessment, and weaves together the findings of the previous reports about how climate change is affecting us and the steps we can take to address it.
https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2023/03/IPCC_AR6_SYR_PressRelease_en.pdf
A 3 minute video about the report, with Spanish subtitles, is here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5aDfE8_X-Q
CLIMATE CHANGE 2023: Synthesis Report Trailer with Spanish sub-titles
youtube.com
A few quotations:
"There are multiple, feasible and effective options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to human-caused climate change, and they are available now, said scientists in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report released today."
“Climate justice is crucial because those who have contributed least to climate change are being disproportionately affected,” said Aditi Mukherji, one of the 93 authors of this Synthesis Report, the closing chapter of the Panel’s sixth assessment. “Almost half of the world’s population lives in regions that are highly vulnerable to climate change. In the last decade, deaths from floods, droughts and storms were 15 times higher in highly vulnerable regions,“ she added.
“There is a rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a livable and sustainable future for all (very high confidence).”
“Our climate is our future.”
Love,
Diane

Our local activist group had been planning a sign up event to support a
national action in London this April. I had to step up and take an active
role in organising, setting up and attending due to unforeseen
circumstances. Our action included a survey and sign up to get more people
on the streets outside Parliament to register their dissatisfaction with
how the government is tackling and handling the issues.
Last Saturday, our developing RC area assisted this local action. We have
experience of doing Listening Projects on racism. Using these experiences,
we supported the climate activists to engage with the public. The RC group
stopped and listened to anyone willing to engage with us. The activists
took over those who expressed an interest in hearing more, or finding out
how they might participate further: including getting people to sign up for
the national event, which was their aim.
What we might do differently: have mini sessions just before the Project.
Where it worked well: the RCers were available and listened to anyone
willing to stop. We funnelled those with attention on this topic to the
activist group who had more detailed information and offered to keep these
people informed about the bigger action in April.
There was no question of either group recruiting from each other. We were
two organisations working togather side-by-side.

*Older People Backing Younger Climate Emergency Leaders*
Hi wonderful Climate Emergency Co-ordinators.
In recent years I have noticed that I can play a key role as an older
person, in backing young leaders in the climate emergency. By backing young
leaders, I mean listening to them, appreciating them, and participating in
the actions that they create for change.
I came into RC as an activist when I was in my twenties. I was
participating in the women’s nuclear disarmament movement. Discouragement,
fears and what I now realise were deep feelings of powerlessness had me
pull back from actions in my community. Being listened to, discharging and
having space where I was respectfully listened to enabled me to be active
again.
I recently received some great guidance from two younger climate emergency
leaders, in the RC communities. This is what they said -
· Share what you are doing that you feel hopeful about, and where you
are taking action around climate change.
· Tell us experiences you have had that have been successful, and
what enabled them to be effective. This history is helpful to us.
· Sometimes we feel that I have to come up with the answers. We need
you to share the weight of the tasks. Claim the climate fight as fully
yours and not just a young people’s fight, and support others to do the
same.
· Young people want to talk about taking bold actions, and have
conversations about colonialism and its impacts. Turn up and join in these
conversations, but don’t dominate them.
· It sometimes seems like older people are giving up and leaving the
actions that are needed to us. Don’t unload desperation and discouragement
on younger people. Our hopeful perspective is not an open invitation to be
cliented at. We are going to be alive longer, but we need to act now,
together.
· We don’t want to be a spring of hope, we want you to try things as
well.
· Help address activists internalised oppression, such as differences
of opinion on strategies for action. Then we can prevent disunity.
· Ask younger activists what they want from you, to support them.
· Play and have fun in your life, as it helps with connection and
thinking.
Thank you to Karina Vennonen in Australia and Sam Saxe-Taller in the USA,
who are both long time participants in climate change movements.
After some recent discharge I remembered how we can struggle to notice how
good we are as older people, due to ageism. This may also make it feel like
we don’t want to be with other older people. I have been discharging on how
I struggled with seeing the despair of my grandmothers. When I arrive in a
breakout room on Zoom for a mini session and see other older people, one of
my feelings is discouragement. It makes more sense to notice the reality of
what wonderful humans we are.

Dear Climate Coordinators,
I just posted the content below on the environment and Community members list. I’m please that two coordinators have already asked about this. I think this is a good role we can play in our local Communities… thinking about how to introduce RCers to more involvement in climate actions. Let’s have a discussion here about what you do, before and after any actions, to encourage RCers to become more active.
Thanks and love,
Diane

Dear RCers
It’s great to see RCers planning to attend upcoming large-scale climate actions. We want to do more and more of this as part of implementing the Unified Goal on the Climate: https://www.rc.org/publication/environment/unified_goal
We want to think about the no-socializing policy as we think about such actions, but I think in most cases it can work to guide us rather than limit us in our actions. I wrote in detail about “Activism and the No-Socializing Policy” here: https://www.rc.org/publication/present_time/pt189/pt189_083_ds. It’s still a good reference.
I think we will each want to have sessions about what this language in the Unified Goal means for us:
"We in the RC Community commit ourselves to encouraging and supporting every one of us to act against and discharge any distress that might keep us from playing an active role, as large and radical as necessary, to resolve the climate emergency. For most of us, this will involve uniting with others to publicly oppose irrational policies and visibly support rational solutions.”
We will not be inviting each other to join our climate organizations with us, or “huddle” with other Co-Counselors in our climate organization.
But we can inform each other about our climate organizations (and others)—what they do, who is with us, what a new member can expect. We can inform one another about important developments regarding the climate emergency and what actions are being taken about it in the world.
We can organize local projects to “encourage and support” Co-Counselors to become more active in climate organizing with our Regional Reference Person’s approval. Such actions could include bringing RCers together to attend a climate action. You could gather and discharge before and after, and have mini-sessions during the event. Guideline I, Activities Outside the RC Community, addresses this. https://www.rc.org/publication/guidelines_2022/i02
I would encourage RCers who had other connections to the event to participate through that connection (their organization, friends who are attending) rather than with the RC contingent. But attending a demonstration together can be a great way to introduce RCers to climate organizing.
In the article cited above, I talk about issues that will come up and questions that should be addressed in advance.
Your Area or Region may want to consider forming a local Sustaining All Life project to consider having a presence beyond a single demonstration or action. If so, please discuss your ideas with your Regional Reference Person and write to Sustaining All Life at sal@rc.org<mailto:sal@rc.org>. We would love to support you.
If you are going as a group of RCers, with permission of your RRP, or as a SAL project, please do not plan to get arrested. The RC Community does not have the resources to help you with all the consequences. Of course, if you are going alone or with others, that is your choice and it may be a good one.
With love,
Diane Shisk

Dear Climate Coordinators,
I want to build a stronger team in my region to be thinking and moving our work forward on climate and the unified goal.
I’d love to hear how others have built teams and how you structure your work together.
For me it has been good to meet monthly with the ARPs and key climate leaders, with time for discharge, thinking, and planning next steps.
I think I need a group that meets more frequently, to help us put our ideas into action more quickly, and develop our ideas. I will bring this up at our next regional meeting.
I’d love to hear anything about what you have done to build strong teams.
Thank you..
I’m so glad we are in this together.
With love,

It was wonderful to join a small group of Jews for a topic group which was
led by Ruth Hartman, at the recent Leaders in the Climate Emergency
Workshop.
Thanks Ruth for encouraging me to post this!
Ruth said some key ways in which we Jews are challenged in leading and
acting in this area:
Antisemitism is discouraging
Ancestral trauma can make us feel hopeless. It's unbearable and can't be
faced or spoken of.
Isolation: feeling we have to fix it alone, and we're probably hated anyway
Urgency so we can't stop for a minute, which can leave us isolated,
discouraged and exhausted.
Racism: historically we were a racialised group. It’s only in recent
generations that some of us fit into the white spectrum. Upward mobility is
connected to racism, and having the trappings: taking on the role of the
middle or owning class. So we've benefited from racism, and it's hard to
look at.
We have our internalised antisemitism, and we can get distracted by
wondering if we're being targeted. Antisemitism is on the rise again as
economic conditions worsen. Antisemitism does come at us.
Ruth reminded us that we are a resilient people, and that we have good
organising skills and experience as well as strong community bases. Justice
and tikkun olam (repair of the world) are key Jewish values.
We discharged together in the group, and shared our thoughts.
As often the sole Jew in climate emergency activities in my life, I am
reminded of the importance of teaching my friends and co-activists about
how antisemitism operates, in order to back me and prevent antisemitism
from derailing our actions for social change.
This is the ‘Ending Antisemitism’ component of the Unified Goal on the
Climate.
*“The RC Community commits to doing the work to understand antisemitism,
its significant rise worldwide, and the divisive role it plays in weakening
liberation work (particularly the fight against racism).*
*We commit to discharging and acting against all antisemitic patterns that
have been installed on us.*
*We will take an active role to ensure that antisemitism is addressed in
all liberation programs and to end the use of antisemitism to disrupt
liberation movements, and the climate movement.”*

Bonjour aux coordinateurs d'urgence climatique,
Les 3 et 4 décembre, nous tiendrons notre première réunion pour les "coordinateurs d'urgence climatique". On vous a proposé (et nous pensons que vous avez accepté) ce rôle pour votre zone, région, pays ou circonscription. Merci de jouer ce rôle. Nous espérons que de nombreux autres responsables de CR se joindront à nous. Voici comment Janet et moi pensons à ce rôle.
L'un de nos objectifs est d'amener les membres du CR qui n'ont pas encore été impliqués dans notre travail sur l'urgence climatique à participer à ce travail. Un autre objectif est d'augmenter le niveau d'activité sur le changement climatique dans les zones, les régions et les circonscriptions (c'est-à-dire plus de cours, de groupes de soutien et d'ateliers qui abordent cette question). Nous souhaitons encourager davantage de personnes à diriger ces événements, mais aussi à se porter volontaires pour devenir des "coordinateurs" qui assureront la continuité et l'expansion de ce travail. Ces "coordinateurs de l'urgence climatique" seraient des leaders qui encourageraient et soutiendraient le travail sur l'urgence climatique dans les zones, les régions et les circonscriptions. Ils coordonneront, mais ne dirigeront pas nécessairement, des activités telles que des groupes de soutien, des rassemblements et des ateliers.
Janet et moi rencontrerons les coordinateurs tous les mois au cours de l'année prochaine. Voici notre programme pour ces réunions :
samedi soir de 20 h à 21 h 30, heure du Pacifique (Seattle)/dimanche matin de 8 h à 9 h 30, heure du Pacifique (Seattle)/ sauf indication contraire)-décembre 3/4 (10 h PDT le 4), janvier 7/8, février 4/5, mars 3/4 (vendredi/samedi), avril 21/22, juin 3/4, juillet 1/2, août 5/6, septembre 2/3, octobre 7/8, novembre 4/5, décembre 2/3.
La réunion de décembre aura donc lieu le samedi 3 décembre, de 20 h à 21 h 30, heure normale du Pacifique (PST) (Seattle) et le dimanche de 10 h à 11 h 30, heure normale du Pacifique (PST) (Seattle). J'enverrai un rappel et un lien Zoom environ une semaine avant chaque réunion.

Nous savons que tout le monde ne peut pas assister à toutes les réunions, et c'est très bien ainsi. Veuillez assister à autant de réunions que nécessaire. Cette initiative n'en est qu'à ses débuts, il s'agit donc d'un travail en cours et nous espérons que ces réunions mensuelles vous seront utiles dans ce rôle.
Voici un lien vers les noms et les lieux ou les circonscriptions des coordinateurs d'urgence climatique figurant sur notre liste jusqu'à présent. Nous encourageons chacun d'entre vous à avoir un coordinateur "copain" ou une personne de soutien avec qui vous vous conseillez, partagez vos réflexions et vos plans, et évaluez ce que vous avez fait.
Amitiés,
Diane et Janet
