This Saturday, Dec 12, tens of thousands of people will take to the streets to have the final word as the Paris Climate talks wrap up.

In Paris, courageous young people spoke out powerfully for their lives in the halls of the climate talks (listen to the song a few times so you know it for Saturday) calling for leaders and the world’s people to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C. We are currently at 1 degrees C. The best we can hope for is an agreement to limit warming to 2.7 degrees, which essentially amounts to genocide for many of the world’s people, places and living species.
Now is the time -- No Climate Compromise - We Stand for 1.5 C!
In Minnesota, we will pick up where Paris leaves off. We will power a movement that reclaims and transforms our political and economic systems to serve and respect all living systems, the Earth and all people. Our current unchecked economic system is destroying our water, land and air, exploiting people and whole communities, leading to vast wealth inequality and fueling climate disruption. We will not compromise the health and well-being of all people and living beings in the name of profit. We are ready for a new economy.
Now is the time -- Systems Change Not Climate Change!
Gather with us at 9:00 AM for drums and speakers before marching through downtown to the Minneapolis Convention Center. Invite your friends and family!
Following the march, a few of us are joining our partners from Minnesotans for Fair Economy for a People’s Congress. As part of the congress, MN350 is hosting a climate and economy caucus space following the march until 12pm. You are invited to join us at the caucus! More instruction will be given at the end of the march.
