The Climate Science Alliance team was everywhere for the Earth Day season: 11 events, 100+ hours in community with over 3,000 awesome people! Our sun and wave logo was seen at schools, parks, and even on the dance floor. Every space we shared with you this season reminded us why this work matters. Together, we can spread hope and inspire a new generation of climate leaders.
Here are some places you may have seen us:
Intertribal Earth Day
On April 18, Climate Alliance staff attended the 2026 Intertribal Earth Day. The event took place at the La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians’ campground nestled along the slopes of Palomar Mountain, where we were greeted with warm weather and a cool breeze. Kids and adults alike enjoyed our tumbling towers game while learning about the importance of protecting our coasts from sea level rise. Many of you loved our stickers and postcards featuring art from the Alliance’s affiliated artist, Audrey Carver. We were so fortunate to meet so many new people and give a hearty “hello!” to some of our partners.
Campo Earth Day
That same day, our other staff members headed to Campo for the Campo Band of the Kumeyaay Nation’s Earth Day: the pleasant weather, great people, and serenades of music made for a memorable event. We had our Chutes and Ladders game out for the folks to play while learning about the relationship between fire and climate change. Indeed, it was hard to miss the bright orange and yellow squares of the game along with the large, inflated dice. We also had our Climate Kids learning resources available thanks to our partner hub at the Manzanita Band of the Kumeyaay Nation. These resources help explore ways to teach climate change and resilience. It was a blast sharing joy with the community.
Climate Dance Party
On April 24, we headed over to the Birch Aquarium for a unique evening on the dance floor during the Climate Dance Party. Bestselling author Ayana Elizabeth Johnson partnered with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Birch Aquarium staff to organize the event. The Climate Science Alliance participated alongside other local organizations to promote a positive and hopeful climate future. Under the lights and along the shores, our team talked about our latest projects, including Hear Our Names, as well as new activities that engage High Schoolers in climate hope. Dancing, photo booths, education, and a nice sea breeze made for a great evening with our friends and community partners.
As we approach another summer of extreme weather events, we are reminded to stay connected to the communities that support and organize innovative programs and events like these Earth Day festivities. Being with you all reminds us of the importance of building community and working together towards a better climate future.
