Sun Day in the Capital Region is part of a national mobilization at the time of the Fall Equinox by a large coalition of which Third Act is a founding partner.

Inspired by the transformative impact of the original Earth Day in 1970, Sun Day is a national day-of-action to harness the power of people, culture, and advocacy to celebrate and accelerate the rapid build-out of renewable energy. Sun Day will specifically spotlight how solar and wind are the most affordable, most reliable, and most expeditious sources of energy.

Sun Day events in Upstate New York will bring together activists, businesses, workers, homeowners, renters, farmers, students, and policymakers to demonstrate widespread support for the ongoing transition to renewable energy.

Through arts and music, storytelling, teach-ins, and fun activities for all ages, Sun Day events will showcase New York’s affordable, reliable clean energy future as we leave behind the planet-crushing toxicity of fossil fuels.

Not to be missed is the radiant Sun Day Wool tapestry that will be on display.

The Albany event will feature an exposition hall with advocates and vendors, panel discussions, teach-ins, climate films, and climate-songfest.
