Fourth Annual Mother’s Day Climate Rally
May 9, 2020 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join us for the 4th annual Mother’s Day Climate Rally — the virtual edition. We’re rallying for the planet, clean energy, a healthy climate, and a healthy future. Mother’s Day was originally a day of political activism, and so we are returning to those activist roots. We are determined to protect the climate for our children, our children’s children, and all future generations.
After you RSVP, you’ll receive an email with instructions for joining the event online!
We have an incredible lineup of speakers: WENONAH HAUTER, Founder and Executive Director of Food & Water Action. Wenonah has three decades of experience campaigning and writing on food, water, energy and environmental issues.
BILL MCKIBBEN, author of over a dozen books, educator, environmentalist and founder of 350.org. His 1989 book “The End of Nature” is regarded as the first book for a general audience about climate change and has appeared in 24 languages.
