FEATURING BILL MCKIBBEN – The devastation of Hurricane Dorian has offered yet more dire evidence of the critical choice humanity faces: to continue burning fossil fuels and heating up our atmosphere, or to choose a path away from climate destruction.
On September 20th, a global climate strike of the likes we may have never before seen, will mobilize people around the world to demand action on climate change. A week-long series of actions, events, marches, rallies, strikes, and more are intended to send a powerful message to decision makers that we can no longer continue with the status quo.
