Fires are raging across the West; a slow-moving hurricane has ravaged the Southeast and Gulf Coast. Experts agree that this is just a preview of some of the devastating effects that the global climate crisis has, and will continue to have, on our environment and our communities. Such devastation is not inevitable. We need to act and we need to do so as soon as possible. We need our political leaders to take immediate action.
On Friday, September 25th., from 5 - 6 p.m., at Caras Park, please join Families for a Livable Climate to stand in solidarity with families across the country who are suffering the devastating effects of wildfire and hurricanes, and in solidarity with the Fridays for Future Global Day of Action.
We invite the community to tell the world why and how we are committed to preserving a livable climate by taking a pledge at the event, and recording a message about your commitment if you would like.
Since we cannot gather en masse, we kindly ask that you consider bringing some shoes to represent other friends and family who would like to strike, and signs. We will represent our 300 members with shoes for each one.
Please wear a mask, respect social distance.
We need to unite now. We need our political leaders to take immediate action. There are lots of ways to be involved. Join us.
NOTE: We will be holding a sign making get-together on Wednesday, 9/23, from 4:30 - 6 p.m. at Caras Park as well. Questions? Email: livableclimate@gmail.com.
