The All We Can Save Project will accelerate the success of the climate movement by providing focused support and community building for women climate leaders. This support will be delivered in three strategic programmatic areas.
Education and engagement grounded in the anthology All We Can Save: This anthology, co-edited by the co-directors of The All We Can Save Project includes 41 provocative and illuminating essays from women at the forefront of the climate movement, as well as poems and art. At the core of the engagement campaign for the anthology will be All We Can Save Circles, small groups committed to reading the book collectively and engaging in directed dialogue. It is an evergreen 10-week sequence designed to build community and seed action that extend and sustain beyond the collective reading process itself, supported by the ongoing project. More broadly, curriculum materials and additional media will be developed to enable to book’s use as a course text for various age groups.
Direct financial support to cohorts of women climate leaders via the Eunice Newton Foote Award: In 1856, Eunice Newton Foote discovered the link between carbon dioxide and planetary warming. As the first climate feminist, she is the namesake for this award. The award is designed to provide direct financial and other meaningful support to rolling cohorts of women climate leaders. The program will support their evolution and ideas, foster connected leadership, and leap-frog barriers women face in the climate movement. It includes an unrestricted monetary award, tailored support, and community gatherings.
Broader community building for women in climate, including both high-touch and distributed programs: The All We Can Save Project will aim to foster connection, care, and collaboration for change among women in climate through virtual and in-person programs (when public health conditions allow), and through distributed means that equip leaders to self-organize such programming when and where needed. This kind of work is consistently underfunded in the climate space, but has a vital role to play in sustainable, successful social movements.
Through these programs, The All We Can Save Project will nurture and accelerate a feminist climate renaissance.
