#ClimateWoke at the Global Climate Action Summit Social Media Toolkit

#ClimateWoke aims to change the story about climate justice by centering low-income, communities of color, and migrants most impacted by inequity. CultureStrike is working to organize artists and cultural workers to feel the urgency to engage in the larger, intersectional fight for environmental justice during GCAS and beyond.

We know real change can only happen when people are “woke” to the fact that climate change policies and storytelling need to be enacted with social, racial, and environmental justice at the center. Communities most impacted need to see themselves represented in climate justice organizing and solutions.

Purpose of this toolkit

To introduce partner organizations and advocates to #ClimateWoke and help drive engagement and action among their base of supporters via social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat. It is crucial to radically reimagine a climate justice movement that centers OUR stories and change the larger narrative and culture to empower our communities as leaders for climate action.
