This week for Legacy I worked on creating a database of contacts for different organizations, groups, and schools in each of the New England states. This will be helpful for keeping all of my contacts organized so that whenever I have to plug applications or get the word out about something I can easily go into the database and send out emails to organizations and other groups in the state. I started by focusing on the state which currently have applications open or who I know will have applications open soon. These chapters were my priority because will use those contacts soon when sending out emails and getting other information out to groups. Right now, several of the New England chapters are looking into expanding their chapters by getting lots of new organizers, and I have been busy plugging their applications, and so I think that having this database of go-to contacts will be super helpful for myself. The database is organized by chapter and under each chapter is organized by type of group. For example, some of the categories are: environmental organizations, political organizations, youth activist organizations, high school and college clubs, etc. Also, I communicated with several chapters this week. Some chapters just closed out their first round of applications and they will be onboarding new organizers and helping to get everyone involved while other chapters are setting up applications and looking into holding virtual open meetings to attract a wider group of youth who might want to get involved. You can view the current database here but note that not all of the pages have been worked on yet, as I prioritized the chapters who are actively pursuing expanding their group of organizers currently.

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.
