Howdy!

We are in a climate emergency NOW! To build on the momentum, join us Tuesday, August 2nd in Raleigh at 2 pm, for the National Day of Action!

In light of the ongoing climate crisis, we are taking action with people across the country to demand that President Biden declare a national climate emergency and use his executive authority to help end the era of fossil fuels.
August 2, Biden: Declare a CLIMATE EMERGENCY & REJECT Fossil Fuels!

2 pm, Terry Sanford Federal Building, 310 New Bern Ave., Raleigh
This action is about visibility, so bring your friends and signs!

The core demands are Biden, declare a climate emergency and STOP approving fossil fuel projects, including leases, exports, plastic plants, and pipelines (like the MVP)!

It will be hot, so we’ll only be there 30-60 minutes. Bring water! Some of us will have umbrellas for shade.
Another reminder of actions you can take!
Tell Biden: Choose People over Fossil Fuels and Declare a Climate Emergency here!
