QUICK OVERVIEW

Join us for this virtual climate action this Earth Week! We’ll be running a phonathon to help Angelenos be prepared for natural disasters and learn about ways to take climate action from home!

ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW

LA Works has partnered with LISTOS California to join their efforts in reaching millions of Californians who otherwise wouldn’t have access to lifesaving emergency preparedness information. Providing tools to help vulnerable Californians not only survive but also thrive post-disaster, is what makes Listos California so vital. LA Works has also partnered with LADWP to help empower Los Angeles residents to take climate action from home by conserving water and power while lowering their bills.

IMPACT

Phone banking is an effective way to quickly connect with community members and mobilize them to take climate action. By sharing important information through direct calls, volunteers will encourage people to save water and energy in order to lower their carbon footprint and contribute to making California sustainable. With recent floods and wildfire season coming up, it’s crucial to stay prepared for emergencies and volunteers will be sharing resources to help our community members stay safe.

VOLUNTEER ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Learn about Disaster Preparedness and LADWP resources in a brief orientation.
• Complete cold calls to individuals in need.
