Summary:

The climate movement cannot win in solitude. In 2026 with the rise of fascism knocking on our door, the cost of living making it harder for ourselves, our friends, and neighbours to make ends meet, and the digital media landscape perpetuating antisocial tendencies, it is more difficult than ever before to organize around an issue as existential and nebulous as climate. Not only is working in concert with, and in support of other progressive communities the ethical and moral imperative, it is the only way to harness the power of the people in order to achieve the outcomes we so desperately need.

Biography:

Lauren’s been with Climate Action Network Canada since 2019, first as Climate Ambition Coordinator and now as Member Services & Movement Building Manager, after having spent several years in grassroots climate justice organizing circles in communities across Canada.

Lauren was born and raised on the land of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Attawandaron, and Wendat peoples, in what is commonly known as London, Ontario. A graduate of Environmental Studies and Political Science at Mount Allison University in Mi’kma’ki (New Brunswick) Lauren first became involved in climate justice organizing through campus fossil fuel divestment campaigning, organizing Powershift youth convergences, and as delegate to COP 21 and 22 with the Canadian Youth Delegation. Passionate about ensuring we transition to a carbon neutral future in a way that works for all, Lauren takes great pride in working in service of CAN-Rac’s members, and the climate movement.
