 -have-climate-conversations/\n\n**RSVP HERE: [https://luma.com/48qim134](h
 ttps://luma.com/48qim134)**\n\nYou spend a week\, a weekend\, a demonstrat
 ion\, a protest surrounded by people who GET IT.\n\n​The urgency for a b
 etter future is shared. The language is inspiring and fitting. The energy 
 is real. But then on Monday morning you’re back to “real life” and y
 our colleague wants to talk about their upcoming 3-day cruise\, your neigh
 bor thinks wind turbines are an eyesore\, and the person who runs your tow
 n's building department just killed the energy-efficient HVAC upgrade…ag
 ain.\n\n**​How do you not lose the thread of Boston Climate Week vibes\,
  and progressive climate attitudes in general?**\n\n​This is a 2-hour pa
 rticipatory session designed to help you process what you've learned about
  the climate in spaces like Boston Climate Week and actually bring it home
  with you. Not as a rant or lecture\, but as a genuine conversation that m
 eets people in your life where they’re at.\n\n**​We'll spend our time 
 together:**\n\n    ​Reflecting and solidifying your experiences througho
 ut the week and in general about the climate crisis\n\n    ​Connecting w
 hat you learned to the real places in your life where it can land: your te
 am\, your town\, your family dinner table\n\n    ​Building a practical c
 ommunication toolkit for talking about climate in real life\n\n    ​Crea
 ting a plan for applying what you’ve learned to real life.\n\n​We'll a
 lso spend a little time with activist frameworks like the Overton Window a
 nd Spectrum of Support to strengthen communications foundations and bring 
 more people into the movement for a life-sustaining future.\n\n**​This e
 vent is for you if:**\n\n    ​You've had a great week (or activism seaso
 n) and you're dreading the come-down\n\n    ​You care deeply about clima
 te and you're tired of feeling like you can't talk about it with half the 
 people in your life\n\n    ​You work in climate\, advocacy\, policy\, or
  sustainability — or adjacent to it — and you want better tools for th
 e real conversations\n\n    ​You want to leave with something on paper a
 nd not just in your head\n\n​Light refreshments will be provided. Bring 
 a mug for tea\, a notebook\, and a writing utensil. Come ready to think\, 
 share\, and leave with a plan.\n\n**About the Facilitators:**\n\n​Jamie
