Join us for an important panel on organizing older climate voters! In partnership with Environmental Voter Project, whose latest report – Gray is the New Green: The Growing Strength of Older Climate Voters – highlights the importance of elder voters, Third Act is co-hosting a discussion with experts on organizing older climate voters, including our own Melanie Griffin, Third Act’s Field Campaigns Lead.

How can older Americans strategically and effectively meet this current moment? Come learn more about the link between the fossil fuel industry, US imperialism, and authoritarianism. Additionally, gain a deeper historical perspective on anti-war activism and hear concrete Third Act ideas on how to engage fully and effectively right now to make a difference.

About this event

Presenters: Daniel Hunter, Freedom Trainers; Rebecca Solnit, activist and writer; Bill McKibben, Third Act co-founder; Kafia Ahmed and Mike Johnson, Third Act staff.

We have our third session  building on our collective work so far to develop true collective resistance to defeat all forms of U.S. militarization, domestically and abroad. As the state’s tactics of war continue to intensify, these coordinated efforts are vital to ensure an escalation of resistance and clarity of approach. 

Coordinating Committee:

Venezuela’s oil future. Worsening climate impacts, despite soaring clean energy. Elections in the US, Brazil, and Bangladesh. A potential post-COP30 surprise. The 89% Project’s next phase, and much more. How do we as journalists cover the big climate stories in 2026? And how do we get industry colleagues, in our own newsrooms and beyond, to join us?
