A powerful educational experience 2. A welcoming community 3. Easy-access on-ramps to effective action

THIS! is What We Did is our answer to the Ultimate Question: "What did you do to fight climate change?"

Our mission is to help grow an intergenerational movement strong enough to break the power of the fossil fuel industry and stimulate the effective, drastic action needed to spur climate justice and give future generations a chance for a decent life.

Our cornerstone program, Effective Climate Conversations (ECC), equips individuals with the tools to grow our movement daily. We know this is a pivotal area for growth because, according to the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, two-thirds of American adults rarely or never discuss climate change with friends or family.

We are a research-informed, grassroots-led organization with a focus on practical education that uplifts people and strengthens the solidarity between them. Our newest initiative, Earth's Athletes, will accomplish this same goal with an emphasis on inspiring athletes to "join the greatest team you'll ever be part of." Earth's Athletes recently launched, so any donation to help with the launch is greatly appreciated!

Your donation will also go towards other free programs, including our Climate Literacy curricula, Anxiety into Action workshop to support young people dealing with climate anxiety and depression, screenings of The Week, our Move Your Money Cohorts (MYM), and drop-in MYM office hours. Our priority is to keep these programs completely free and accessible to the public. In addition to all of our free programs, your donation will also go towards helping us host another event (or two!) at San Francisco Climate Week in 2027. We thank you for your support!

Testimonials

"I've done so many programs offered by THIS! Is What We Did. My goal is to complete all of their actions in 2025. The information provided is great, and the volunteers are so encouraging, compassionate, and friendly. They are eager to make a difference and be a force for good."

"I loved this class! At first, I was skeptical because it seemed like such a difficult topic to discuss, but after taking the class, I feel so much more positive and comfortable speaking about climate change with others. Thank you!" [about ECC]
