About the Partners
1Sky (www.1sky.org) is a powerful new campaign to build a
movement at the scale of the climate challenge by communicating a
pro-active vision, and advocating a clear, simple set of goals and
policy initiatives. 1Sky was borne from the collective urgency and
determination of a diverse group of leaders with many strengths,
audiences, and organizing strategies and 1Sky aggregates that power.
1Sky is building a central staff in the DC area, and up to 50
organizers placed with partner organizations in states around the
country, to carry out our mission.
