Biography
[edit]Salamon is a clinical psychologist.[6]
Salamon has highlighted the importance of processing climate grief,[7][8][9][10] the psychological reluctance of individuals to see the climate emergency as a threat,[6] and the importance of empowerment self-defense.[11]
In a 2016 white paper, Salamon argued for a "Climate Emergency Movement" that must treat climate change as emergency and "act as though that truth is real — employing emergency communications, militant tactics, and demanding an emergency mobilization from the government and all society, as the policy response."[12] Salamon argues that these recommendations have been adopted by Extinction Rebellion, the School Strike for Climate, and the Sunrise Movement.[12]
Organisations
[edit]In 2014, Salamon co-founded The Climate Mobilization with Ezra Silk at the 2014 People's Climate March.[13] TCM advocates for a emergency mobilization of the economy, politics, and society to respond to climate change.[14] Salamon felt that there were no organizations telling the full truth of the climate emergency.[15][16]
In 2016, Salamon was one of the originators of the climate emergency declaration movement. She developed the strategy as well as helping to implement the first local declarations in Hoboken New Jersey and Montgomery County, Maryland, as well as working on a National level for a declaration of Climate Emergency.[17]
In 2020, Salamon created Climate Awakening, a group therapy for people struggling with climate anxiety.[18][19][20]
In 2021, Salamon became the Executive Director of the Climate Emergency Fund.[21][22] The group funds "more aggressive" non-violent civil disobedience about climate change.[23][24]
