MEET THE

CHAPTER

We come from all age groups and all professions – teachers, students, doctors, business professionals, non-profit leaders, artists, authors, and even scientists – with a common purpose: to solve the climate crisis.

WHO WE ARE

We are Bay Area residents. Many of us have completed Climate Reality Project Leadership Corps training with former Vice President Al Gore and world-renowned scientists and communicators to learn about the climate crisis and how we can solve it together. Many others are concerned community members committed to climate action. And all are here to make a difference in the Bay Area.

We come from all age groups and professions – teachers, students, doctors, business professionals, non-profit leaders, artists, authors, and even scientists – with a common purpose: to solve the climate crisis. We welcome everyone who wants to fight for a better planet.
