The U.S. climate movement is facing one of its most challenging moments yet. With a government that is actively undermining climate progress, many advocates, professionals, and everyday citizens working on climate action are grappling with an urgent question: How do we stay effective when the system is stacked against us? It’s easy to feel paralyzed by political inaction, corporate resistance, and worsening climate shocks—but history shows that transformational change is possible, even in the toughest conditions. The key is knowing what works.

Join Dr. Kamal Kapadia, co-founder of Terra.do, in conversation with Dr. Dana R. Fisher, leading sociologist and author of Saving Ourselves: From Climate Shocks to Climate Action, for a powerful discussion on how to navigate these times with strategy and resilience. Drawing on decades of research into social movements, climate policy and activism, Dr. Fisher will share hard-won insights on why traditional approaches have failed, what tactics have the greatest impact, and how we can leverage moments of crisis to build a stronger, more effective movement. This isn’t just a conversation about the challenges we face—it’s about how to take action that actually works.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the state of climate politics, this conversation will give you the tools to move forward with renewed purpose.
