Recommendations for how to take action

  • How To Start

    Find a local group that focuses on an issue you care about, like protecting nature, achieving justice, or cleaning up the community.

  • What Comes Next

    If your HOA or local government is blocking environmental action, stand up to them! Fighting alongside your neighbors will make your voice louder.
