Materials
Statistics for Action has produced materials in many different forms, to meet different community needs:
- Activities that organizers and educators can use to help communities understand, analyze, and communicate environmental issues.
- Guides for air quality monitoring, soil quality testing, water quality testing, hazardous waste cleanup, and reading online cancer registries.
- Videos with quick reviews of concepts, or stories of how data can be used effectively in environmental organizing.
- Statistics for Action co-produced the Spring 2011 issue of The Change Agent: Staying Safe in a Toxic Word. Includes stories of communities using data and math skills for empowerment.
- Many SfA materials will also be available in Spanish.

Climate change is a hugely important issue. Many of the local campaigns described in SfA resources have a climate change component. Since other groups have taken on this issue, we offer links to their resources.
The CLEAN Network includes individuals, projects, and organizations working to promote climate literacy. Scientifically and pedagogically reviewed digital resources for teaching about climate science, climate change, and energy awareness
350.org is building a global climate movement with online campaigns, grassroots organizing, and mass public actions coordinated by a global network active in over 188 countries. The number 350 means climate safety: to preserve a livable planet, scientists tell us we must reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from its current level of 400 parts per million to below 350 ppm. "Do the Math: The Movie" tells the story of the growing climate movement, from the fossil fuel divestment campaign to the fight against the Keystone XL pipeline.
