Keeping it Cool: a benefit concert for climate action Sept. 14

Let's enjoy a night of music to benefit climate action. Plus, it's my birthday!

Between last night's televised climate town hall and the upcoming global climate strike, doesn't it feel like we're nearing a tipping point for climate action? We're making progress, although the urgency of our efforts have never been more clear. 

That's why I hope you'll take this opportunity to support Climate Solutions' work responding to the climate crisis. Join us next Saturday, Sept. 14, at the Royal Room in Seattle for a very special evening of music and conversation to benefit Climate Solutions! Internationally renowned Wayne Horvitz will provide the music along with an all-star band. Event details are below. Get your tickets now! 

Sept. 14 is also my birthday! Twenty-two years ago I was an intern in Washington DC in the US EPA’s Policy office during the Kyoto Protocol negotiations. So I've been working on climate change half my life. Working for climate progress alongside people like you is what nourishes my optimism; that's why I'm hopeful that you'll join us next Saturday at the Royal Room!
