Help us to influence public debate and earn media attention for our cause. Identify and cultivate donors:   Reach out to foundations and major donors and ask them to fund our work to fight global warming, promote clean energy, and protect our most spectacular natural areas. Run a grassroots campaign office each summer of your fellowship:   Hire and manage a staff of 20 canvassers. Raise money, build our organization and membership, and help win one of our key campaigns.
