I have been bringing learnings around power-building and base-building to many of the coalition spaces I am a part of. I am using relational organizing frameworks a lot and have noticed a positive difference in our organizing program!

One of the things that has been most useful has been the curriculum and developing a more in-depth fluency with the Lab's resources. I now feel prepared to find what I need when I need it when doing organizing work!

The opportunity to network and connect with fellow energy justice advocates is invaluable.​ I love the cross-pollination that happens at Lab events and have followed up with many people.

The results from our research project with the Lab came at an opportune time. Based off our results, I proposed a significant investment of resources in texting so we could... reach and engage Latinx Coloradans.

Participating in the cohort reminded me how many resources are available through the Climate Advocacy Lab. When I or my co-workers have a question about something, my first move is to check and see ‘What does the Climate Advocacy Lab have?’

My praxis group has also been amazing, and we have getting together outside of the bi-weekly meetings to strategize and brainstorm about climate work in the Midwest! It has really changed my life.

Instantaneously I felt safe. It was such a unique cross-section of activists and organizers. The storytellers were incredibly humble and that helped to demystify a lot of things. I work in finance, but in the narrative and storytelling could see myself.

Y'all have gotten really good at creating shared learning spaces that are actually really productive and where work moves forward afterward.
