The three kinds of lobbying

  • Political

    Meeting your political representatives to talk about climate change in a caring, non-partisan way that’s all about listening.

    Political lobbying

  • Grassroots

    This is all about citizens talking to citizens, whether it’s setting up a table at a local farmers’ market, or an event with a local politician.

    Grassroots organising

  • Grasstops

    Making friends with community leaders, including executives, religious and cultural leaders and our elders.
