When people act
locally,
the world
transforms.
Every community’s got its own grit, its own gifts—tools to build tougher roots, greener futures, and real change. We at United Earth Networks swear by it—start close to home, and the ripples go global.
Here in Port Townsend, we’re digging in, teaming up with locals to make Fort Worden a hub for resilience and regeneration. It’s not just talk—it’s us acting right where we stand, building something solid alongside our neighbors.
How can you jump in? Lean into your own backyard—connect with your people, back projects that heal, and shore up what keeps your community ticking. We’re doing it here in Port Townsend, and we’d love for you to join us—right where you are, or with us at Fort Worden and beyond.
Partnering with
Local 20/20
for Community Resilience
United Earth Networks is collaborating with Local 20/20, a grassroots organization in East Jefferson County, to launch new lifelong learning programs at Fort Worden. These initiatives will strengthen our "Act Locally" presence in the community, focusing on climate change, sustainability, and local resilience.
Local 20/20 is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to fostering community interconnectedness, sustainability, and adaptability in the face of climate and economic challenges. Their work addresses key local issues, including income disparities, access to stable housing, and affordable transportation. Through various action groups, they implement practical solutions to build a more equitable and sustainable future.
Together, UEN and Local 20/20 are creating opportunities for education, collaboration, and action—helping Port Townsend serve as a model for local solutions with global impact.
