In just 70 days, presidents and prime ministers from around the world will gather in New York City for a landmark summit on climate change. Communities across the country are mobilizing to make sure their voices are heard by converging in the streets of New York City on Sept. 21st at the largest climate march ever.
But to make this the biggest climate march in history, the momentum can't be confined to New York -- which is why we're organizing a tour up and down the East Coast to spread that energy, and we're coming to Richmond the evening of July 22 from 6-9 pm.
Sign up for the organizers tour stop in Richmond on July 22 using the form on the right.
Here are the details:
What: An inspiring organizing meeting to get ready for the People's Climate March.
When: July 22, 6-9 PM
Where: The Forum Room in the VCU Student Commons, 907 Floyd Ave, Richmond, VA
Why: To meet local activists near you and create an organizing process that engages Richmond in the People’s Climate March and creates meaningful new coalitions and connections.
The meeting will not only teach you the basics of organizing, but also deepen our local networks and make the connection between the People's Climate March and local campaigns - making them both stronger than ever. We will talk about the march itself but also about lots of other things: organizing and recruitment, ways to create art to make the day transformative, and about how to be a bus captain and bring dozens of people from your community to New York City.
The summit this September is one of our best chances to demand global action on the climate crisis - and the first step towards making Richmond part of that is coming to the community organizing meeting from 6-9 pm on July 22.
