Deep Canvassing with Montana Burgess
The country is pretty divided on climate change and what to do about it. Can deep canvassing help to get people on board with decarbonization? Is deep canvassing the pixie dust necessary to bridge political divisions? How does it work, anyway? On today’s episode Kristen spoke with Montana Burgess, the Executive Director of Neighbours United, an organization based in interior BC that led the first complete deep canvassing program on climate anywhere in the world. Neighbours United is such a cool organization, and they are working to promote community engagement for climate action across Canada. Listen in on our conversation about what it’s like talking to people about climate change, and how deep canvassing can help to not only build consensus but also shows that we all have a lot more in common than we might think.
