Whitney asked the meeting to reflect on how they find allies for their innovative work in climate change &amp; equity. Naturally, the answers are often very site-specific \u2014 as teachers find collaborators within the school across disciplines, build or strengthen community partners and opportunities for learning and service; and negotiate with school or town administration. This is a topic that may well be a good one to revisit this coming year, especially with the new cohort of Fellows who will join us this summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/19l0n_0rqcYy59vKykPA-dGvFa-9GqcIt\/view?pli=1\">View Recording<\/a> *<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/19l0n_0rqcYy59vKykPA-dGvFa-9GqcIt\/view?pli=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/climateandequity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-08-at-2.19.14-PM-1024x387.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of the six participants from the May call-back.\" class=\"wp-image-1402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/climateandequity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-08-at-2.19.14-PM-1024x387.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/climateandequity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-08-at-2.19.14-PM-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/climateandequity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-08-at-2.19.14-PM-768x290.png 768w, https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/climateandequity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-08-at-2.19.14-PM-1536x580.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/climateandequity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-08-at-2.19.14-PM-2048x773.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">* <em>Access to the Google Drive content is restricted, and you may be prompted to sign in with a Google account.
