We Advocate
We advocate for the planet by fighting for environmentally friendly legislation. We do this by signing petitions, calling congress, and lobbying etc.
Who We Are
We are members of the Peace Corps community past, present, and future. We have seen the impact of poor environmental policy and climate change in countries around the world.
What We Do
We Educate
We raise awareness about environmental issues. We also stay updated on the latest laws and legislation impacting the environment.
We Collaborate
We believe we are stronger together. We connect with other organizations and individuals to share ideas and learn from each other.
Writing Letters to the Editor that Actually Get Published
This is a time for RPCVs to come together and write letters for publication to draw attention to environmental and climate problems, or to speak out in support of great actions. We will begin the meeting talking together briefly about how we want to structure our letters, then the majority of the time will be writing and revising our letters. Working together we can provide the feedback and support that is essential to a quality piece of writing.
Getting Elected Officials to Act
There are many ways to take action to get officials -- local, state or federal -- to listen to our calls in support of legislation for environment or climate, Peace Corps, refugee and asylum seekers, and more. This series is a commitment to four 2nd Tuesday of the month trainings (through September 14) to help you gain confidence on how to approach your legislator.
