2023 GND Hub Survey of Needs

What is the GND Hub? It's an online platform and professional network for sharing resources and strategies across an international network of Green New Deal advocates. The Hub actively builds bridges between policy practitioners, grassroots organizations and activists to accelerate actions that advance climate, economic, and environmental justice through the sharing of ideas, funding opportunities, and strategies for coalition building, policy design and program implementation.

Purpose of this Survey: The purpose of this survey is to identify how to best support those working towards a Green New Deal or GND-aligned campaigns and policies given their current priorities, needs and challenges. We want to make the latest, most relevant, and most impactful networking spaces, resources, funding insights, and connections available to you. Your input is extremely helpful in identifying the most impactful ways we can be of service to GND efforts across the U.S. and even around the world!

Are there others in your network you think would benefit from being part of this network? Please share this survey with them. We will be sharing out our survey takeaways with all survey participants. 

Take the survey, win a fantastic book! Completed surveys will be entered into a drawing to receive one of two free copies of Andrew Boyd's new book on navigating the climate crisis with grief, hope and humor.

Part 3: Learning Labs & Collaboration Spaces

What is a Learning Lab? Members of our GND Resource Hub have expressed interest in participating in a series of “Learning Labs” that bring together GND advocates, activists, planners, officials, and policymakers in a collaborative, supportive "how-to" space where we can share insights and learn from each other. A "Learning Lab" is a structured online workshop and networking space that would focus on specific topics related to GND organizing, policy, funding, or implementation and walk through various implemented examples or tools with practitioners. Learning Labs would feature network updates and delve into the specific topic with a variety of speakers sharing both relevant opportunities or resources, and their lived experiences in advocating, with ample time for questions, brainstorming and co-creation through online tools like Jamboard.
When it comes to GND advocacy, what are you proud of building so far? What are some specific goals you still want to achieve through your GND efforts? (Eg. legislative achievements, building broad alliances, identifying priorities, getting funded)
Are there any current challenges to your organizing, advocacy, or policy work that you would like to have discussions about/receive resources & insights on through the GND Hub? (If yes, please describe.)
What discussion topics would be most helpful in supporting your advocacy/policy work? (Details help us craft the most relevant and impactful networking and workshop opportunities.)
Would you be interested in sharing your insights and experience on particular topics or strategies? (Presenter honorariums are provided. If yes, please describe the topics/strategies.)
Are there any specific organizations, cities, alliances, or speakers you'd be interested in learning from or connecting with through the GND Hub? (If so, what do you want to learn from them most?)
