To change everything, it takes everyone!

We are an unstoppable movement of everyday people from diverse communities around Wisconsin, working together for justice and an end to the climate crisis. We challenge government, community, and business leaders to rapidly implement the far-reaching changes and solutions we need.

We’d love to have you join us in fighting for a livable planet! It will take every one of us, and there’s an important role to play, whatever your skills, whatever your interests, whatever amount of time you have.

Helping our region’s governments and institutions set and achieve just, equitable climate goals as fast as possible; and
Increasing climate awareness, engagement, and action among the citizens and residents of our region.

We’re already achieving significant results — see CCST Action Highlights for an overview — and with your help, we can do much more.

Divest & Defund

The Divest & Defund Team works to convince institutions that investments in fossil fuels are not only ethically and fiscally irresponsible, but are literally wrecking the planet we call home — all for profit. We are currently focusing on banks that fund pipeline projects.
Meetings: Fourth Mondays, 7:00–8:30 pm
Contact: divest.defund@350wisconsin.org

State Policy Group

The State Policy Group promotes strong, progressive state climate policy.

Particular areas of focus include building code reform, renewable energy infrastructure, climate justice, and green workforce development.
Contact: Janet Niewold, janet.niewold@gmail.com

Tar Sands

The Tar Sands Team is fighting Enbridge tar sands pipelines in Wisconsin. Our aims are to stop the proposed expansion of Enbridge’s Line 5 oil pipeline in northern Wisconsin and achieve the shutdown of the entire Line 5, and to halt plans for a Line 66 in the Line 61 corridor. We support efforts led by those most impacted, including tribes, landowners, and affected community members.
