CLIMATE DIALOGUE:

The heart of your teach-in should be a round-table dialogue between students and key decision-makers: US Senators and congresspeople, governors,
city councilors, mayors and state representatives. This kind of intergenerational dialogue has the power to break through the partisan
framing of global warming, and resultant political gridlock, because for young people, this is not about left and right. It is your future
at stake, and only you have the moral authority to speak for that future.
