Local Meetups Are Springing Up Across the Country (and the world!) - Click one near you to contact your local hosts.
We're having a party and we need your help! We're looking for Local Hosts for 10th Year Meetups being held across the country this July and August. Read more, or email 10years@sustainus.org if you want to help plan a 10th Year Meetup in your area.
SustainUS was founded 10 years ago in the preparation for the World Summit on Sustainable Development. 10 years later, we're empowering more youth than ever to advance sustainable development.
This July and August, we want to gather locally with SustainUSers across the country, but we need members to help plan and host our local meetups. At the meetups, we'll:
- celebrate our successes
- meet SustainUS members in your area
- get your input on new programs and future directions
- talk directly with SustainUS's leadership, including your Chair
- find out ways you can contribute to our work
Never hosted a meetup before? No problem - we'll give you everything you need to get started. All of our Local Hosts will get a guide for options on how you can host the event, support from our leadership, and access to SustainUS members in your area. Ready to get started? Email 10years@sustainus.org |
 We joined nearly 75 organizations in a letter to Congress calling for stronger international provisions in comprehensive climate legislation. |
 We joined more than 40 organizations in a letter opposing legislation to prevent the EPA from regulating greenhouse gas pollution. |
Chair Kyle Gracey joined Carly Queen of the National Wildlife Federation's Campus Ecology on V-Radio to talk about the work of the Energy Action Coalition this fall to get youth to support clean energy candidates through the Power Vote campaign, and preparations for next year's Power Shift 2011 clean energy summit!
