Reflecting on a year with Flight Free USA
For the past year we have been organizing a collective Flight Free action in partnership with 10 Flight Free groups worldwide. By last spring over 25,000 people had pledged (of those, 437 Americans from 30 states) to not fly for 2020 for the sake of the climate - as a way to call on our communities, businesses and government for immediate climate solutions. Then COVID-19 hit.

It was great for my career, and great for my school. How could I stop?
