      <image:title>Events and Trainings - Advocacy 102: OUR TACTICS</image:title>
      <image:caption>We’ll explore how strategies shift over time, why some tactics succeed while others stall, and how to choose the right tools for your moment and message. This session will cover: • Power Mapping – identifying and influencing decision-makers • Letters to the Editor (LTEs) – crafting compelling public narratives • Petitions &amp; Sign-ons – building collective pressure and visibility But Advocacy 102 goes further: we’ll explore real-world case studies that demonstrate the outcomes of these tested tactics in action.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events and Trainings - Missouri Advocacy Day - Buildings are a major source of carbon pollution, worsening air-quality days and harming residents with asthma, COPD, and other respiratory conditions. These burdens fall hardest on children, elders, and frontline communities.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Based on member feedback, this year’s Advocacy Day is fully virtual so organizers, climate groups, and community members across the state can participate without mid-week travel barriers. Join us to learn, connect, and engage directly with lawmakers.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events and Trainings - Policy Power Hour  | The Cloud Isn’t Invisible: Data Centers, Grid Stress, Jobs, and What Communities Can Do About It - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Each session features: •  Timely policy briefings from across the region •  Strategic insights on building decarbonization and energy justice • ️ Open discussion and Q&amp;A with fellow advocates •  Calls to action and upcoming engagement opportunities We then turn to one of the fastest‑growing drivers of regional energy demand: data centers. These facilities—central to cloud computing, AI, and digital storage—are expanding quickly and placing new pressures on local grids, land use, and community resources. The session explains what data centers are, why they’re growing, and how their energy needs intersect with community decarbonization goals. We’ll explore impacts on grid stress, job creation, air quality, infrastructure, and long‑term planning. Participants will leave with tools to understand trade‑offs, ask informed questions, and advocate for upcoming state legislation, community‑centered protections for frontline communities, or health‑impact reparations. Who Should Attend: Residents, community leaders, local government staff, environmental justice advocates, and anyone interested in how digital infrastructure affects energy systems and community well‑being.</image:caption>
