"Tucked away in a corner of a Brooklyn brewery, a table lit with fairy lights is surrounded by mugs of beer and a hub of people typing away on their computers. Danny DeBare, Alec Regitsky, Kristie Ha and others have made it a weekly tradition to meet at Threes Brewing every Wednesday at 8 p.m. for the past two years - brought together not by coincidence, but by a shared passion."
"Known as the Climate Changemakers, the group, whose members range in age from 26 to 35, is part of a broader climate advocacy network. They host a weekly "hour of action," providing attendees with everything they need to participate. DeBare, a co-founder of the Brooklyn chapter, said typical tasks in the lead-up to an election month include phone banking, drafting personalized emails to local assembly members, and reading educational briefings on relevant laws."
Danny DeBare, Alec Regitsky, Kristie Ha and others meet every Wednesday at 8 p.m. at Threes Brewing for Climate Changemakers, a weekly gathering of 26-to-35-year-olds within a broader climate advocacy network. Meetings provide an 'hour of action' with step-by-step resources for phone banking, drafting personalized emails to local assembly members, and reading educational briefings on relevant laws. The model emphasizes accessibility for newcomers by making climate action achievable and digestible within one hour, offering low-barrier social space inside a Gowanus brewery that encourages participation without requiring prior expertise or perfection.
