In September 2019, 350 Triangle organized a “climate strike” in Raleigh, North Carolina as part of the Global Climate Strike, which took place that year. The event was sponsored by the local NAACP and the Sierra Club, among other left-wing organizations. ³

In January 2021, 350 Triangle was one of 600 left-wing groups to sign a letter directed to President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, demanding the incoming administration issue an indefinite moratorium on disconnections of all water, electricity, broadband, and heat, citing the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. ⁴
