“Do you want to do something about climate change but you're not sure what? Amherst is often thought of as a highly progressive town, but despite our resources and plans to combat climate change, we are not moving at a fast enough pace to keep up with climate change and racial discrimination. A subset of our town council has consistently voted against allocating funds to climate & racial initiatives. Amherst Sunrise is running a campaign to elect candidates who will act on these issues. Our primary method of influencing the election is door-knocking, which is going up to houses to inform the residents about the candidates we endorse and convince them to vote for those candidates. We need your help! The more people that door-knock, the more likely we are to win this election. Help us sway the town council in favor of racial equity and climate justice! Come to a canvassing training at 41 Pine Grove at 11:00 on the 17th of September. Snacks and T-shirts will be provided.”
