<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Northern Thunder is a western Wisconsin based organization committed to and working on local and global issues related to the human and natural environments.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This grassroots organization was born as a student group with Earth Day in 1970 and organized many actions and projects around activism and the environment through 2008. These included opposing several mining projects, peace and justice work, and an award-winning cable television program, TV Notion. Northern Thunder's most prominent effort was perhaps the creation of <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.whysradio.org/" target="_blank">WHYS Radio</a>, Eau Claire's community radio station.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Our team is exploring a revival of this organization with a focus on climate change, energy and environmental activism.</p>
