Get Ready for Global Climate Strike on September 20th

UUA Webinar 4 p.m. Thursday, September 5th

The Global Climate Strike is a youth led climate protest that is organizing events throughout the world between September 20 and 27th. Some believe it could be the largest environmental protest yet. It’s time for us adults to back up young people who are fighting against the climate deniers for the future of our planet. Click HERE to read an appeal from young people to adults to get involved in actions that may include simple protests and basic civil disobedience.

In Michigan, so far, groups are planning climate strikes in 10 communities: Ann Arbor; Auburn Hills; Dearborn, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Keweenaw area (near Houghton in the UP), Marshall and Mt. Pleasant. Go to this website to sign up for an event or to organize and register one in your community: https://globalclimatestrike.net/Click HERE for another tool for finding and getting details of Strike events that seems to work better for me.

The Unitarian Universalist Association is hosting a webinar on how to get ready for the Global Climate Strike this Thursday, September 5th at 4 p.m. Click HERE to register for this webinar.Click HERE for more background on UU’s perspectives on the Global Climate Strikes.

From 5 p.m. to after 11 p.m., 10 Democratic presidential candidates will each be given at least 40 minutes to discuss their view on climate change.
