Earth Charter Grassroots Organizing: Notes from the United States

by Jan Roberts

Editor’s Note:
We commissioned Jan Roberts, president of the Earth Charter Community Summits in the United States, to write the first new essay on “The Earth Charter in Action” because her message is an excellent “kick-off” on this topic: how do we build Expanded Awareness of the Earth Charter? Jan has been working with grassroots leaders throughout the US, where political support for the Charter has been weaker than in many other countries. Her story helps us think about how to build awareness and engagement in challenging circumstances.
