A healthier climate starts with connected neighbors and empowered communities.
What We Do
LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY
SSCAN leaders and volunteers advocate for public policy that reduces greenhouse gas emissions in Washington State and prepares our communities, especially the most vulnerable, for anticipated climate change effects.
MT BAKER MEANINGFUL MOVIES
The South Seattle Climate Action Network works with the Meaningful Movies Project to coordinate monthly screenings of social justice documentaries in South Seattle.
EARTHCARE NOT WARFARE
SSCAN works on anti-war legislation because our military is the largest producer of greenhouse gases and because many SSCAN members are in the 9th Congressional District. Congressman Adam Smith is the chair of the House Armed Services Committee.
URBAN AGRICULTURE
SSCAN leaders and volunteers organize and/or support several community-driven urban agriculture projects including the Mt Baker Food Is Free Community Giving Garden, Bradner Garden Pea Patch and the Shark Garden..
Who We Are
The South Seattle Climate Action Network is a community of concerned citizens who seek to elevate the importance of climate justice via community building, educating our elected officials, and partnering with allied organization. We are a grassroots, all-volunteer organization that seeks to develop strong relationships with our South Seattle legislators to support meaningful environmental and climate legislation, and to promote a sustainable and equitable future for our people and the planet.
We’re ordinary people, just like you We are juggling jobs, kids, and relationships. We have bills to pay, children to love, friends and family to support. We don’t feel like we have all the answers. But the urgency of the climate crisis leaves us with no other option but to act for our planet, our communities and our families.
