Introducing our new Campaigning Guide

At the beginning of April, we held a special Campaign Engagement Webinar - a chance to learn more about our key campaigns; No New Gas, Energy Poverty and Pollution, and Climate.  The aim of this webinar was to empower supporters and activists in our network to engage with and take action on issues we believe are some of the most important climate justice issues in Ireland right now. 

April’s webinar was a great success, with huge numbers of people tuning in from across the country. We hope this is a model that we can continue to roll out into the future. If you missed the webinar, the recording is available to watch back here.

On the night, we also launched a brand new handbook for groups and individuals interested in community led climate action in Ireland. This introductory guide covers an extensive range of local organising issues, from simple tips for talking to the media, power analysis, group organising, research tools and building allies locally.

We produced this guide in response to a growing number of queries from community groups who wanted to take climate action in the context of local communities. We hope it is a resource that can be used by grassroots activists, faith groups, community groups, and anyone looking to build a local campaign to make transformational change in their communities. For more information on the guide or to request a physical copy, contact rosi@foe.ie.
