At Shake Up The Establishment, we’re more than just advocates for climate action—we’re storytellers. Our limited edition, hand-illustrated postcards are a way for you to carry the message of intersectional climate justice wherever you go. 💌
Educators, I want to personally invite you to a virtual event to learn more about youth-led nonprofit Shake Up The Establishment’s book Practicing Rest, Recovery, Resistance (3Rs). You will be provided with an overview of our work & impact, why we wrote this book & an overview of our 3Rs framework!
