Worldwide September 20 Global Climate Strike will demand climate action now
On September 20th, millions of people will walk out of their classes, jobs, and homes as part of a Global Climate Strike. It’s destined to be the largest worldwide action ever, followed by activities throughout the week of September 20-27. Learn more at https://strikewithus.org/
Ashland-area residents can be a part of this landmark event.
Youth members of the Rogue Climate Action Team are planning a 10:30am walkout from Ashland Middle and High Schools, marching to Ashland Plaza for a Climate Action Rally. Join them at the Plaza at 11am to support their courage.
Immediately following the rally, the strike migrates to Butler Bandshell in Lithia Park to Unite for Climate Action-an all-ages community climate action picnic and performing arts program. Under the creative direction of Barret O’Brien, enjoy music, uplifting presentations, poetry, group art, spiritual centering for climate healing, and info on opportunities for personal and collective action. Food trucks available, or BYO picnic with your own plates, cups, and utensils. Our goal is zero-waste!
You Can Help! Calling all local climate change movers and shakers, faith and other community leaders, parents, science nerds, the social media savvy, and more: We need you! Volunteer, be a partner organization, host a table, or help us spread the word and build the momentum. For info, contact Lorrie Kaplan or Kathy Conway.
