Climate change has been identified by the World Health Organization as the single biggest health threat to humanity. Climate change is causing extreme weather including flooding, extreme heat, and drought all of which have serious health effects. The adverse impacts of a warming climate are also not felt equitably. Disadvantaged communities face an even greater burden from the climate crisis.

The League’s policies and positions allow us to play a significant role in addressing the climate crisis. In response, the LWVMC is establishing a Climate Action Group. The goal of the group is to create a plan of action for our League. Anyone interested in sharing ideas about possible local climate advocacy is invited to attend one of two meetings. Join us on either Saturday, April 20th from 10 am to noon or Sunday, April 21 from 1 - 3 pm at the League offices Room 2212 Summit Place, 6737 W. Washington St., Milwaukee, WI. Co-convenors, Candice Owley & Louise Petering.

Registration is requested but not required.

If you are unable to attend either of the meetings but are still interested in the work of the Climate Action Group please contact c.owley@lwvmilwaukee.org. for more information.
