Minnesota RPCV Paul Thompson (Malaysia 70-73) cares deeply about the need for U.S. leadership and global action on climate change.
An avid Flying Disc enthusiast, Paul is on his way to Jacksonville for the World Flying Disc Federation Championships, and then to Washington for a regional competition. He wanted to put his stops along the way to good use and thus, a "Climate Conversations" tour was launched.
Starting Friday in Rockford Illinois and ending July 23rd in Milwaukee, Paul will be hosting a series of informal gatherings that are being planned to connect with RPCVs and others who are concerned about the need to address the climate crisis. Climate conversations will be held in the states of Indiana, Kentucky, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Ohio, and in the District of Columbia. Check out the itinerary and forward it to others - RPCVs or otherwise!
We hope to connect with RPCVs and others who are interested in taking action including:
- working with other international based groups planning local meetings with congressional leaders to urge that climate legislation include adequate support for impoverished nations.
- making plans to organize events October 24th in connection with 350.org
If you are not in the vicinity of these climate conversations but want to find out how you can help, contact advocacy@peacecorpsconnect.org or join our group on Peace Corps Connect.
