00:27:31 Michael Komba (he/him): They mentioned our weekly Chase/Wells Fargo protests at the “Climate Convergence” get together put on by the Milwaukee Party for Socialism and Liberation this past week.

Do you this this is due to pipeline protests that have gained national attention. 00:58:38 Emily Park (350 WI): https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ERIByPwUwnpItQ4nWteE0uDy-CgzLQSRVvJuLdU6_1E/edit?usp=sharing 00:59:22 Linda Frank: Inspring presentation, Emily! 01:00:01 Charlie Bensinger: Very impressive work, Emily 01:00:32 Tee McClenty (She/her) MN350: No, I don't think it's just about the pipeline. We had about 20 staff about that time and with funding loss after the pipeline, we went down to staff. Our legal status is MN350 not 350 MN. We are a 501(c)3 and 501 (c) 4 01:00:59 Melissa Brice (she/her) - 350 Chicago: BP 🙂 01:01:06 350 Chicago: Whiting IN 01:01:10 Emily Park (350 WI): @Tee, I think it probably helps that MN350 was state-wide from the beginning! 01:01:58 Tee McClenty (She/her) MN350: Yes, we have always been a state wide organization. 01:03:42 Linda Frank: 350 Milwaukee has advocated for local climate action and was instrumental in getting the Milwaukee Climate & Economic Equity task force established along with other local NGOs 01:04:02 Emily Park (350 WI): whoa Linda I'd love to hear more about that! 01:04:30 Melissa Brice (she/her) - 350 Chicago: Excellent, Linda! 01:04:49 Tee McClenty (She/her) MN350: Nice work, Linda. 01:05:02 Linda Frank: I am a member of the task force. Linda.m.frank@icloud.com 01:05:34 Charlie Bensinger: And the MKE Climate Task Force has prepared a very impressive climate response plan. 01:09:07 Emily Park (350 WI): Agreed, Julie! 01:09:51 Melissa Brice (she/her) - 350 Chicago: The militarzation climate connection work is really energizing to me! 01:10:37 Emily Park (350 WI): 350 WI had speakers about the link between the military and climate in February (recording here https://350wisconsin.org/monthly-meeting-archive/) 01:11:51 Joe Dubaniewicz-Kenosha: Sierra Club Political Chairs endorse candidates with a blind questionnaire process (similar to WI Conservation Voters).. 01:14:59 Melissa Brice (she/her) - 350 Chicago: thank you! 01:15:55 Linda Frank: MN 350 has great communication approaches to mobilizing people on climate and equity 01:16:38 Emily Park (350 WI): Our total mailing list at 350 WI is about 5000 01:16:56 Melissa Brice (she/her) - 350 Chicago: We are also interested in that Tee 01:20:57 Emily Park (350 WI): We're trying to frame Line 3 as a learning opportunity to help us succeed on Line 5. 01:23:20 Emily Park (350 WI): YES - huge lessons to learn on messaging around jobs and a green economy 01:24:10 Jim Schultz (WisCOSH; he/him): That’s an area WisCOSH is very involved in. Thank you for bringing up labor! 01:26:52 Melissa Brice (she/her) - 350 Chicago: Tee, that is definitely something we lacked, a job description, explicit statement of expectations, and then also requesting feedback. Thanks for those great ideas! 01:27:12 Tee McClenty (She/her) MN350: Absolutely! 01:33:14 Melissa Brice (she/her) - 350 Chicago: 350 Chicago is also interested in pushing the city further, we do not think the climate action plan goes nearly as far as we need. 01:34:15 Emily Park (350 WI): I'm happy to put people in touch with the volunteer leads of our Community Climate Solutions Team. The Madison group has an alder liaison team, and the various groups do a lot about building codes, etc 01:34:23 Tee McClenty (She/her) MN350: Thanks, Linda.
