This Moral March for Climate Justice will be an inclusive gathering of all who care about climate change as a moral issue, and will show that we are all connected in our responsibility to deal with this crisis. The March will also be a vehicle to express our collective demand for meaningful and immediate action.
Additional peaceful actions in Washington, DC during this time are being called for by various groups and individuals, and will express the values and rituals of those who are planning them. Local actions across the US are also encouraged.
WHEN: Sunday, September 20, 2015 through Thursday, September 26, 2015 - coinciding with the Pope's visit to the US,and at a time when the hearts of many Americans will be open to the reality of the moral impacts of climate change and to seeking solutions.
WHERE: Your city
WHY: Climate change is already affecting our planet and all of its inhabitants – and it is disproportionately affecting the poor and most vulnerable. It is just as much a moral and ethical issue as it is a political and economic one. The Pope's September visit to the US makes this an auspicious time to call, in a unified voice, for moral action on climate.
WHO: The name “Moral Action on Climate” is not a brand; it is a means to facilitate communication necessary to organize. Though united by common purpose, our strength is in our diversity. All are welcome and encouraged to join us.
