Below you'll find links to past writers prompts and updates sent to our network of climate justice writers. Some are time-sensitive, others tap general themes related to climate justice. Writers are encouraged to use and adapt these texts as you work to spread the word about the urgency of climate justice and just transition! (Return to Climate Justice Writers Network)

The It Takes Roots to Weather the Storm campaign highlights the following messages, and our regular memos will provide you with suggestions along these lines. We also encourage you to think of other ways to bring these themes into your writing for local and other particular audiences. If you have story ideas to recommend to our writers, please send them to cjwriters [at] inosa.mayfirst.org:

(Follow links for story ideas on each theme)
  • Stories and leadership of grassroots frontline, fenceline, communities of color. Special attention to Indigenous peoples.
  • Calling out the climate criminals including the U.S. and others who are obstructing the Paris climate negotiations (COP)
  • Gender climate justice--how climate change is impacting women--not with victim frame, lifting up their solutions.
  • Just transition to a low-carbon society
  • Keep fossil fuels in the ground
