350Vermont organizes, educates, and supports people in Vermont to work together for climate justice – resisting fossil fuels, building momentum for alternatives, and transforming our communities toward justice and resilience. On October 10, 2010, over 100 community organizers in Vermont staged separate Days of Action as part of 350’s Global Work Party. Following this event, a group of the 10/10/10 organizers realized that Vermont could be a global leader in the climate action movement. They channeled the statewide enthusiasm into forming 350VT in 2011, with the mission of catalyzing the cultural and systemic transformation needed to reverse climate change and return to 350 ppm. Since, 350Vermont has been instrumental in various statewide campaigns. We worked with local residents in NEK to pass 29 town resolutions to keep tar sands out of Vermont. We’ve run several Divest VT campaigns, worked with a statewide coalition to protect Geprags Park (from Phase 2 of the VGS pipeline), and at the regional level on the Break Free-Albany Campaign. Through rallies, advocacy, trainings, workshops, and social media we are calling on people around the world to come together and fight for climate justice. Climate change affects everyone, and everyone has the right to an ecologically sound environment. Because marginalized groups are disproportionately affected by climate change, it is as important as ever to work in solidarity with communities most directly affected. In recognizing the inequalities of the climate crisis rooted in race and class, we aim to unify our movement both in our own backyards and globally. The threat of climate change is real and only getting worse. As weather becomes more extreme year to year, it is only becoming more apparent that we need to not only change the way we live our daily lives, but also change the way we think about each other and the world.
