This week I focused my work on preparing all of the chapters for our Pre - Earth Day workshop series. I have been working hard to ensure that all of the presentations are prepared and that everyone is ready to go. This week had to spend a lot of time communicating with many different people in order to make final adjustments and to give organizers any help that they needed. I also needed to work to get some more organizers for our later workshops and to do some logistical work before the first workshop. On top of all of the time I spent communicating through texts and emails, I also spent a fair amount of time on video conference calls with many organizers to answer any questions that they had and to get everyone on the same page. I also had to work on my own presentation and check in on other groups' presentations to make sure everything would be completed in time. You can view my working presentation here and some of the other groups' presentations here or here. Overall, this week was pretty successful. Although at times it was slightly stressful, in the end, I knew that everything would work out. There was a lot that had to get accomplished this week and a lot that did get accomplished. It was important to remain organized and clear in my communication so that everyone knew what was going on. It was important to balance both individual check-ins and whole group check-ins as well as balance how I spend my time coordinating and organizing all of the workshops with working on the ones that I am presenting. There was a lot to get done this weekend, but I managed to complete everything and stay organized. Over the next few days, I will have to continue working to ensure that the rest of the presentations get finished and that everyone can be prepared to host their workshops. It will be necessary to ensure that communication stays clear and effective and that everyone knows what is going on. It will also be great to hear feedback after the first few days of workshops to see what we can improve for the next set of workshops.

Overview of My InquiryFor my US Youth Climate Strike (USYCS) Inquiry I hope to learn what it means to work at the national level in order to organize and create change in our country. I will work with the National Outreach Team in order to develop partnerships around the country for the chapters of USYCS to be able to gain support from. I will work with my team in order to find partners and develop lasting relationships with them. Climate justice will not happen if we do not work with other organizations. The partnerships will help each state’s chapter to further develop themselves and create more of an impact on the state’s government leaders.
