A healthier climate starts with connected neighbors and empowered communities.
The South Seattle Climate Action Network is a community of concerned citizens seeking to address climate justice via community building, working with 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.
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 than to act for our planet, our communities and our families.

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.
EARTHCARE NOT WARFARE
SSCAN works on anti-war legislation because our military is the largest producer of greenhouse gases and because our 9th Congressional 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.
Upcoming Events
At SSCAN’s monthly meet-ups and Meaningful Movies events, we host speakers who provide educational presentations on topics relevant to climate change and environmental protection. We also coordinate semi-regular meetings with our legislators at all levels of government.

Write letters to the Editor
Write letters responding to climate stories to the editor of your local papers e.g. Seattle Times: mailto:letters@seattletimes.
Start with a mention of a recent climate article, then call for green policy action. Keep it short-less than 200 words. See this example:
“Taking action on climate change is really one of the most powerful ways to combat hopelessness and helplessness. Go do something — not as an individual, but as part of a group.”
