The Climate Mobilization

The Climate Mobilization is a new, volunteer-powered organization. Our mission is to protect civilization and the natural world from catastrophic climate disruption. We are dedicated to living in climate truth, and believe that working to solve the climate crisis is everyone's responsibility. Dozens of leading environmental analysts have determined that the only way to save civilization from climate change is with a wartime-style mobilization, akin to the American home-front effort during World War II. (See The Case for Mobilization for an in-depth explanation of this WWII metaphor.) This stark appraisal lies at the heart of this project. In that sense, The Climate Mobilization is a single-issue campaign. We demand a WWII-scale mobilization to restore a safe climate. To this end, we offer all Americans the Pledge to Mobilize, a tool intended to help you intervene in collective denial and call forth the all-out emergency response needed to protect civilization and the natural world. In 2013, Margaret Klein Salamon, the Climate Mobilization's founder and director, developed our basic strategic approach-the Pledge to Mobilize-with a growing network of allies. We developed the Pledge, built our website, and launched in September, 2014 at the People's Climate March in New York City. We work hard to enlist the considerable skills and dedication of Pledge-signers - or "Mobilizers" - in this effort. We offer recruitment materials, outreach training sessions, lively community discussion on Facebook, and conference calls. We will introduce a formal public organizing campaign in coming months, as we continue to refine our social movement strategy.
