Other themes included climate justice, building strong connections and partnerships with community NGOs and businesses, determining how to connect with issues that people care about, providing concrete expressions of climate action in underserved communities, engaging the Latino community, hiring staff to conduct social media communications, holding leaders accountable, and publishing the plan. | | | |

b. Outreach
Shambarger referred to the email announcement that he sent out on January 7 indicating that ECO will hire a full-time FUSE Fellow to conduct outreach and support adoption of the Climate and Equity Plan. Shambarger indicated that the Fellow will work with the Education and Outreach Work Group. Another fellow will be hired by Equity and Inclusion.
c. Events
Shambarger indicated that he would like assistance setting up a public meeting on the modular housing project.
Shambarger indicated that there is increasing interest in presentations on climate. He will present to the League of Women Voters on January 11 with others from the Task Force, and he recently made a presentation the United Nations Committee. A call-in presentation in scheduled with NPR, and interest from the Interfaith community.
Shambarger referenced the recent report from ACEEE, which has generated interest in a forum and resulted in receiving some consulting services from ACEEE.
Shambarger mentioned that Kanthi and Caesar are planning some community education and it would be good to “bring them into the fold”.
Shambarger is also working on the presentation that he plans to bring to the Common Council in February. Evans and others offered to help as needed.
d. Implementation planning for 2023
Wiggins questioned whether the Task Force needs to approve plans to work with a non-profit who will lead the coalition when the work group disbands. The plan is part of the Education and Outreach proposal that the Work Group approved last month, and which the Task Force will review. Evans would like to defer discussion on this issue until we can provide more information. | | | |
