The Climate Ribbon is preparing for Paris!! And we need you.

Hello Ribboneers! :) Bonjour rubaniers!

As many of you know, at the end of this year there will be a massive climate justice mobilization during the UN climate summit in Paris  (November/December). The Climate Ribbon Project is excited to be working with some fantastic partners (Coalition Climat 21, Alternatiba, a community in Les Lilas, etc.) and to bring the tree and mass ritual to the mobilization (like in NYC last September)(but BIGGER!).

We are currently workshopping some designs (above and below!) for different gatherings/spaces, and we would love to hear from you. Please send any ideas you have (email to climateribbon(at)gmail(dot)com) and if you are interested in hosting a Ribbon ritual between now and November, we would love to take your Ribbons and Stories to Paris (DIY Toolkit here).

(AND!-We are looking for (1) skilled engineers/builders to collaborate on designing an extraordinary, monumental tree-sculpture and (2) an organizer to help get things going for what will be a focal point for a gathering space in Paris! We are looking to assemble this team right away and get to work. Apply here for the designer positions and here for the Coordinator to join us!)

Two months after the historic Peoples’ Climate March, and days before the UN Climate Summit in Lima, you are invited to gather in Manhattan for an evening of art & activism, as solidarity events begin in NYC.

“It was great to be there with so many people who had come to NYC from all over the world.  The rail was a perfect place to hang all the ribbons!” ~  Cindi

“On September 21st, the students at Sinai Free Synagogue in Mount Vernon, New York actively engaged in a climate conversation and then they wrote their wishes to protect their world on these ribbons which we attached to this version of a climate tree.

We also planted and dedicated a new Magnolia tree in our outdoor space to nourish and care for as a reminder of this very important day. We circled this sapling and sang together arm in arm celebrating the beauty of the earth that we must protect.

It was a beautiful and memorable experience for all.”
~ Cantor Elizabeth Sternlieb
