We're having a party and we need your help! We're looking for Local Hosts for 10th Year Meetups being held across the country this July and August. Read more, or email 10years@sustainus.org if you want to help plan a 10th Year Meetup in your area.
SustainUS was founded 10 years ago in the preparation for the World Summit on Sustainable Development. 10 years later, we're empowering more youth than ever to advance sustainable development.
This July and August, we want to gather locally with SustainUSers across the country, but we need members to help plan and host our local meetups. At the meetups, we'll:
- celebrate our successes
- meet SustainUS members in your area
- get your input on new programs and future directions
- talk directly with SustainUS's leadership, including your Chair
- find out ways you can contribute to our work
Never hosted a meetup before? No problem - we'll give you everything you need to get started. All of our Local Hosts will get a guide for options on how you can host the event, support from our leadership, and access to SustainUS members in your area. Ready to get started? Email 10years@sustainus.org |
Vote Every Day in August for SustainUS's Pepsi Refresh $25,000 Project
to Organize a U.S. Youth Climate Coordination Summit
Pepsi was looking for people, businesses, and non-profits with ideas that will have a positive impact. SustainUS responded and proposed the U.S. Youth Summit for Climate Action, which will amplify the impact of U.S. youth groups before and during the United Nations climate negotiations in Mexico in December. We urgently need funds to coordinate U.S. youth from around the country in a campaign to raise our voices for climate action before and during the UN climate negotiations in Mexico this December. We're joining with more than a dozen U.S. youth climate organizations to host a summer training summit to unite and connect fall climate campaigns, and create a rapid response network that will mobilize youth throughout the U.S. during the Mexico negotiations to call for stronger climate action (building on the success of the Rapid Response Network in Copenhagen).
Without this grant, the U.S. Youth Climate Coordination Summit will not happen, and our Rapid Response Network will be scaled back. Please vote once daily for this project through August 31st.
2 Ways to Vote and help us win $25,000 to organize a US Youth Summit and Campaign for Climate Action:
1. Vote from your mobile phone: Text 101243 to Pepsi (73774) [Standard text messaging rates apply].
