Green New Deal at UCSD

Green Corps is looking for college graduates who are ready to take on the biggest environmental challenges of our day.

Their program starts by putting you in an intensive classroom training. You learn about issues and campaigns, organizing theory and principles, and skills from recruiting volunteers to staging a media event. Then, you move to a more hands-on experience. You make a difference on important campaigns to transition our country to clean energy, protect wildlife, and more. For example, Lauren Karpinski, an organizer from the Green Corps Class of 2019, brought together a coalition of 40 groups that helped win a landmark solar energy bill in Arkansas this past year.

Apply now to be considered for their 2021/2022 cohort.

Are you an undergraduate student seeking more involvement with climate action? The Third Thursday CAFE is GND at UCSD’s group made by and for undergrads looking for support in their journey with climate action.

Our last Third Thursday CAFE of the quarter is this Thursday from 8-9pm PST.

We are excited to have guest speaker Dr. Kristina Mendez from UCSD CAPS to discuss our own relationship with nature and how capitalism and colonialism impacts our wellbeing. The holidays can be a stressful time, and in combination with this year’s events, it’s important to evaluate our own feelings and interactions with the climate crisis.

For Zoom information, sign up to GND at UCSD’s mailing list via the link in our bio! We hope to see you there, and we wish you a happy holiday season!

Allies in the University of California, please help.
A super concrete thing you can do - sign up NOW to speak to, or write to, the Regents.
We need the Regents to set goals for the UC to get off fossil fuels; for energy systems and for finance.

Yay! Our UC Energy System petition has been finalized.

The petition was signed by over 3,500 UC members and endorsed by UC Unions representing 50,000.

The Chancellors of UC Davis, Berkeley and San Diego have agreed to meet with us; we are waiting to hear from President Drake.

Stunning documentary: students educate the UC on how to get real on the climate crisis.

UCSD Representative Assembly votes 63-3 to create a standing committee on climate change. The first of 10 UC’s to do so!

The committee will now get down to trying to implement the other 33 concrete recommendations on emissions reduction in the Task Force Report on the Climate Crisis.

Telling it like it is: student explains how the UC must get real.
