Climate Defiance Action

Climate Defiance is an organization working to elevate climate change as a top political issue in the US through direct actions, such as creative protests, disruptions, and sit-ins. Our actions put grassroots pressure on political leaders and generate critical visibility around the urgency of the climate crisis.

We are a committed group of staff and volunteers who are deeply concerned about the climate crisis and fed up with our leaders failing us. We come from many walks of life, but all know we are facing an existential crisis, with no time to lose. We are done waiting for our leaders who compromise, drag their feet, and are, all too often, in the pockets of the fossil fuel industry. We seek to end the era of fossil fuels. We do this through direct actions that break through the noise and make politicians act with the urgency this moment deserves.

We're looking for photographers to photograph actions as needed. We are most in need of photographers in DC, Boston, NYC, Minneapolis, and Denver, but expect to have a need for photographers in other cities down the road.
