Add your story to our Climate Quilt

Square by square, story by story, you can join the growing community of Californians celebrating hopeful acts. We are an open-minded, open-hearted state. There’s plenty of room on the quilt for every kind of story of personal resilience and climate action. So what’s yours? We accept short stories, poems, films, art pieces, cartoons, maps, and more – email quilt@kneedeeptimes.org to get started!

Share your photography

Captured a thought-provoking or timely photo? Maybe you snapped something cool and climate-resilient in your neighborhood on your daily stroll? Submit your photos for a chance to be featured as our Photo of the Month or in our Neighborhood Signs of Resilience series on social media! Whether you’re an amateur or a pro, we welcome all photography—from vibrant community events to the native plants in your yard.

Write for our magazine

We want to hear about what matters to you: the climate impacts you’re most worried about, your life hacks for keeping cool in extreme heat, the new tree planting program in your neighborhood. Share your climate perspective and write a short story for our magazine, whether it’s about finding joy in public transportation or connecting with your community during a heatwave. Don’t worry if you aren’t a professional writer – we’re interested in your unique point of view.
