IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Earth Day Livestream Mobilization, April 22-24, 2020

Friends,

Very exciting announcement that provides a way for you to make a difference in this time of quarantine and climate change.  Remember that COVID and climate change absolutely go hand in hand.  But that's not enough.  We must all also get involved is saving our planet.

Parents, for children and youth, being a part of this could satisfy at least partial credit in science.

As many of us as possible, let's join Earth Day that's coming up this week on April 22-24, 2020.  Check out this announcement to which you can connect directly here.

The webpage will ask you to register and to text "earthvote" to the number 565-25. 
Earth Day will feature a 3-day livestream, such that we'll all get connected to millions of people around the world in order to participate in community building and storytelling.  Exciting presentations, music, and performances by many people are featured.  I look forward to hearing, including Al Gore, Bill McKibben, Stacey Abrams, Alyssa Milano, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, together with the voices of Indigenous leaders and youth activists.

You can also connect to local sessions to address struggles and opportunities closer to home.  

Enjoy!

From April 22, the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, to April 24, activists, performers, thought leaders, and artists will come together for an empowering, inspiring, and communal three day livestream mobilization.

The fights against the coronavirus and the climate crisis go hand-in-hand, and as we work to flatten the curve of this pandemic, we must strive toward the longer term goal of building a society rooted in sustainability and justice.
