 Our Featured Guests

1. Sierra Dawn Downey describes why as a young person she is passionate about Climate Action and how the Global Climate Strike affected her.  She talks about the Sunrise Movement for people ages 13 to 35 to affiliate with for Climate Action and the Sonoma County Hub.

About our Guest: Sierra Dawn Downey, learning from a childhood spent hiking through redwoods, camping in deserts, and backpacking the mountains, has worked to make her relationship with the land one of healing, renewal, action, and ultimately, listening. Sierra is currently deepening her experience in sustainable systems, climate justice, community building, and her own leadership with the Daily Acts Leadership Institute's Class of 2020. As Song Leader of the Sunrise Movement Sonoma County Hub, she adds her voice to the swell of systemic change required to re-frame our response to the climate crisis to be more urgent, equitable, and just. Sierra works at Sonoma County Tourism, which has made the commitment to a sustainable future by recently transitioning to a Destination Stewardship Organization.
