Climate change, super storms, rising sea levels, large-scale pollution—do these problems seem large, looming, intractable? If you’re feeling vulnerable, dis-empowered, or burnt-out, you’re not alone: eco-anxiety, climate grief, and other climate feelings are shared by many people who are paying attention to the climate crisis. Addressing these heavy feelings in community can be a way of generating the personal resilience needed to cope with an uncertain future.

Join Waterspirit and our friends at NJ Sierra Club and NJ League of Conservation Voters for a training on how to educate your municipal leaders and pass a clean energy resolution at the local level. This training is designed to prepare you to speak on critical talking points and address what to expect when approaching municipal officials with a draft resolution.
Our sacred Ocean is under threat. As a result of warming ocean waters, we are witnessing intensifying hurricanes and storms that harm marine creatures and our beloved communities, especially our coastal neighbors. Deep sea mining companies are proposing new projects with unknown consequences on marine life and the surrounding communities. Earlier this month the Administration signed proclamations rolling back the remaining three national marine monuments in the Pacific - Papahānaumokuākea, the Islands Unit of the Mariana Trench Marine National Monument, and the Rose Atoll Marine National Monument (American Samoa). We grieve these actions and call for a better path forward.
June is Ocean Month. Join us in listening to voices from communities affected by these threats and learn why a healthy ocean is vital to the well being of our planet. We will identify current threats to ocean life and discover why taking action matters.
