YPX Meeting: American Climate Contract with Benji Backer We’re living in partisan times, but climate change won’t wait for the next election cycle. More and more young people are looking beyond traditional political boundaries for solutions to the environmental challenges facing us all. These solutions must reach across industries, parties and ideological divides to achieve meaningful change.  Join us today, July 21, at 12:00 PM CDT for a special lunchtime conversation with Benji Backer, president of the American Conservation Coalition. Benji will talk about his politically conservative approach to environmental activism and introduce the American Climate Contract, a nonpartisan, holistic set of commitments to solve the climate crisis.  Details: Title: "American Climate Contract: Environmental Action Beyond Partisan Politics” Time: Tuesday, June 21, 12:00 PM CDT Location: Zoom link to be provided to registrants Register
