Leading Into the Future
Tuesday, September 17

Elders Climate Action is celebrating its 10th Anniversary with a 90-minute joy-filled presentation that explains who we are, how we got here and what’s happening now! We’re reaching out to all of our members—that’s more than 26,000 strong volunteers fighting the climate crisis—to join in this momentous occasion. Come celebrate all we have accomplished together. Host a watch party in your home, or cozy up in your PJs with your favorite beverage, but be there for the celebration!
Hear about our collective history!
Hear about the impact of your actions!
Hear what others in the climate fight think of ECA!
Hear from the national committees and what they offer!
Hear from Chapter leaders and what they are doing at their local level!
Hear from fellow volunteers!
A few of our closest climate allies will be joining the event including poet and speaker, Drew Dellinger who will offer a special performance of his poem “hieroglyphic stairway” and we’ll hear from Bill McKibben, Dominique Browning, Nathaniel Stinnett, Reverend Michael Malcom and more.
Give a Gift and Get a Gift from Us!
These items would make a great gift or be nostalgic reminders to you of this great celebration of ECA’s first 10 years.
“it’s 3:23 in the morning /and I’m awake/because my great great grandchildren/ won’t let me sleep/my great great grandchildren
ask me in dreams/what did you do while the planet was plundered?/ what did you do while the earth was unraveling?…what did you do/once/you/knew?”
(excerpt from “hieroglyphic stairway” by Drew Dellinger.)
