First, People Power—an Active and Vocal Base of Public Support

Political scientists Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan conducted a groundbreaking study of resistance movements of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. One key finding is that it takes just 3.5 percent of a population getting active—voting, donating, taking to the streets, talking to their neighbors—for a campaign to win. At the current U.S. population, 3.5 percent would be about 11.5 million people—roughly the number of people who live in Ohio.

Already more than seven in ten Americans understand that climate change is happening, more than six in ten are either “alarmed” or “concerned” about it, and a majority want government and corporations to do more to address the problem. We have a ton of passive support for this issue. Now we need to translate more of it into active support: people voting on climate, donating to campaigns, active on social media, signing pledges, calling their elected representatives, feeding and housing organizers, and supporting in other creative ways to reach that critical 3.5 percent.
