Dear ECCLPs Supporter, 

As we continue to organize initiatives, we will be seeking individuals to support the executive director and advance PK–12 climate and environmental justice literacy. Application information for the following opportunities will be shared when available: 

• UC Irvine Endowed Chair: September 2023 estimated start date. 
• 3 committee directors: committee focus areas are research, teaching and learning, and community-based partners. Late January 2023 estimated start date. 
• 42 committee members: 14 per committee. April 2023 estimated start date. 

To learn about opportunities to partner with ECCLPs initiatives, register for or access a recording of a campus or regional meeting with ECCLPs Executive Director Kelley Lê. In support of the UAW strike, four UC campus meetings are postponed to February (UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UCLA, and UC San Francisco). 

We plan to re-engage the 2019 ECCLPs steering committee members—stay tuned for more information.

Call to Action: Share Your Climate Story 

In collaboration with Change Narrative, we invite you to share your climate story with the possibility of being featured in future monthly newsletters. We acknowledge that climate change is now part of the human experience and we wish to share personal experiences to bring awareness and action to injustices. Your story can be in the form of a written narrative, artwork, or poetry piece. 

Read Kelley Lê's climate story and learn how her experience living and working in inner-city Los Angeles and directing the UCI Science Project contributes to her goals for ECCLPs.
