By signing up you will commit to signing up to give a public comment at the upcoming Regent's meeting on January 19th-21st. We will provide you with a how-to guide with instructions on how to submit a public comment along with suggested talking points. You are open to choose to either submit a written comment or/and request to give a spoken one. Speakers get chosen randomly from a large pool of requesters, so we need more people to request so some of us can at least speak.

Written comments and requests to speak must be submitted by this Monday January 18th in order to be considered!!

Thank you so much for your help. Feel free to contact us through here, or through an email if you are unsure about how to submit a comment or would like a second opinion.

Green Corps is looking for college graduates who are ready to take on the biggest environmental challenges of our day.

Their program starts by putting you in an intensive classroom training. You learn about issues and campaigns, organizing theory and principles, and skills from recruiting volunteers to staging a media event. Then, you move to a more hands-on experience. You make a difference on important campaigns to transition our country to clean energy, protect wildlife, and more. For example, Lauren Karpinski, an organizer from the Green Corps Class of 2019, brought together a coalition of 40 groups that helped win a landmark solar energy bill in Arkansas this past year.

Apply now to be considered for their 2021/2022 cohort.

Are you an undergraduate student seeking more involvement with climate action? The Third Thursday CAFE is GND at UCSD’s group made by and for undergrads looking for support in their journey with climate action.

Our last Third Thursday CAFE of the quarter is this Thursday from 8-9pm PST.

We are excited to have guest speaker Dr. Kristina Mendez from UCSD CAPS to discuss our own relationship with nature and how capitalism and colonialism impacts our wellbeing. The holidays can be a stressful time, and in combination with this year’s events, it’s important to evaluate our own feelings and interactions with the climate crisis.

For Zoom information, sign up to GND at UCSD’s mailing list via the link in our bio! We hope to see you there, and we wish you a happy holiday season!

Happy Wednesday y'all! First Friday meeting is this Friday December 4th at 4 pm for new member orientation and 4:30pm for anyone that has already attended before.

This month we're excited to be joined by guest speaker Dr Michael Mendez, Associate Professor of Social Ecology at UC Irvine.
