April 22nd:
STRIKE – Earth Day and Youth Climate Strikes
On the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, we will demonstrate our collective power and unity through community building and storytelling. This first day will focus on amplifying the voice of indigenous leaders and youth climate activists who are leading the movement to halt the climate crisis.
April 23rd:
DIVEST – Divestment and Climate Financing
Led by Stop the Money Pipeline Coalition, during this day of action we are calling for a global reset. We want to reprogram the economy so that it works for people and the planet, not polluters and politicians.
April 24th:
VOTE – Voter Registration and Political Engagement
We need leaders who will address this existential threat, and for this to happen, we need people to show up at the polls this year and vote for the future of the planet. So the final day will focus on the urgency of political change through a nationwide youth voter registration day.
