We see our mission as the writing and telling of a new shared story through art, action, and collaboration. Over the last year and a half, we've built a grassroots network of regular people who learn together, wake others up through artwork and imaginative events, take collective action at small and large scales, and empower each other to create a just and climate resilient future.\n\nThe group was born from conversations between activists and political discontents who were hopeful for the future, but tired of political action we'd participated in so far. We saw infighting, endless mobilizations without a clear positive platform, and exhausting work culture that bordered on self-sacrificial. We wanted a space in Boulder for radical \"soil-remediation,\" a place where we could build relationships, educate ourselves, heal collectively, and maybe most importantly, imagine better futures.\n\nFor nearly the whole time we've been around we've hosted our weekly dinners, which are open to anyone and demonstrate how eating locally and sustainably is actually within reach if we pool our funds. These dinners are also the soil where we deepen interpersonal relationships, have conversations, and plant the seeds of new projects. These have blossomed into the following working groups:\n\nTHE REV: Gathers submissions of art, poetry, news, and creative writing, designs a beautiful zine, and distributes them around town. Cross-pollinates radical thought in a bioregional context, outside of the billionaire media machine.\n\nwww.climatique.earth/rev/vol-1\n\nFOOD JUSTICE CREW: Partnering with MASA seed foundation to offer teach-ins and internship programs to both upskill aspiring farmers and support the wonderful work that MASA does.\n\nREGENERATIVE ECOSYSTEM MAP: Partering with Woven Web and many other knowledge bearers to create a map of the many regenerative projects in Boulder, particularly the ones that might act as 'bridges' to becoming more involved.\n\nclimatique.earth/ecosystem\n\nCLIMATIQUE LIBRARY: Creating a decentralized library of tools, banned/uncommon books, and other supplies that may be difficult to find in coming authoritarian, or climate, chaos. \"Prefiguring,\" or practicing, our vision for the future of regenerative/gift/library economies.\n\nEVENTS CREW: Has hosted beautiful events with up to 200 attendees, often a combination of a teach-in and a concert. Seeking to reawaken imaginations, teach important regenerative skills, and restore hope for justice and climate resilience.\n\nCU CREW: Working alongside the long-standing movement to amend the pitiful CU Climate Action Plan. Spreading environmental justice messaging on campus and directing students to more meaningful opportunities for climate action around Boulder.\n\nCLIMATIQUE STUDY GROUP: The newest group, a way to collectively learn important history and political theory, and prime ourselves to create the mass movement we'll need to solve the polycrisis.\n\n~ ~ ~\n\nWe operate these teams on a tiny dues program, but mostly with volunteer efforts. We're piloting a stipend project so that people volunteering significant time, and/or whose class background is stopping them from contributing more, can continue to do this incredible work.\n\nClimatique has always tried to operate as horizontally as possible. The funding we receive will be allocated through a participatory budgeting process between members. Based on recent votes, the stipend program will be the highest priority. Your funds will help aspiring community organizers become leaders and changemakers.\n\n🌎🌺", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}}
