Don’t cede your power to the loudest, lying-est party in the room. Democracy depends on people being informed and involved in civic life. Exercise your power to vote in the midterms, and vote for candidates who care about people and our climate. This is our country, and at minimum we have to vote for people who have a better, more compassionate, and more inclusive vision, and to vote against those who support destruction of public lands, increasing climate change through promoting fossil fuels, and violence toward people, animals, and the ecosystems we depend on to live and thrive. 🇺🇸🌎💚

Vote, vote, vote. And: Support candidates and our democracy by canvassing, being a poll worker, handing out materials outside polling stations, driving people to polls, and encouraging others to vote. It all matters. A lot.

Many thanks to Keaton Peters at Straight Arrow for his insightful interviews with Sarah Newman Climate Mental Health Network, Jade Sasser, PhD, Susan Clayton, and me for this piece.

It’s unconscionable that anyone has to be contemplating whether to have kids due to climate change, because that wouldn’t even be a concern if not for the fossil fuel industry and its corporate and government allies. Why are they in charge of everyone’s future?

I’m switching gears from to –the University of Michigan’s Climate Week University of Michigan! Tomorrow (Weds) at 6:30pm I’ll be presenting on “Being Human in a Warming World: An Introduction to Climate Change and Mental Health.” I’ll be introducing grad students at the School of Social Work to the psychological aspects of climate change and some of the things to consider in working with climate distress. The public is also invited to attend; there’s plenty for anyone to learn. So if you’re here in Ann Arbor, please make plans to come on by!

🟡 Register here or at link in bio: https://forms.gle/5qSysjqFZzx9toUc7

🔵 Details: Wednesday, September 30, 2026 | 6:30 pm to 8 pm EST | U-M School of Social Work Educational Conference Center (Room 1840)

🌎️ Description: As the considerable and alarming impacts of climate change continue to grow, understandably so do the emotional responses to our warming world. This brief overview of psychological responses to climate change and climate-fueled extreme weather events introduces attendees to the ways in which climate change influences mental health and wellbeing, as well as to concepts in climate psychology and environmental justice. Research and practice on eco-emotions and beliefs, along with topics and issues related to therapy for climate distress, are covered as well. This presentation is designed as an educational program for students in the School of Social Work, and members of the public are also invited to attend.

Hope to see you there!
