We were thrilled to see so much interest from activists and trade unionists in Canada, the Untited States, and abroad!

Here is a recording of the digital panel.

It was an energizing and inspiring conversation, full of examples of how unions are not only confronting the climate crisis but actively building the world we want.

A huge thank you to Nato Green, Tiffany Balducci, and David Camfield for sharing their wisdom!

We also heard from many participants about helpful resources. We have compiled a couple of them at the end of this email.

In solidarity,
