5th Annual Virtual Mother's Day Climate Rally

Start: 2021-05-08 14:00:00 UTC Eastern Daylight Time (US & Canada) (GMT-04:00)

This is a virtual event

Join us for the 5th Annual Mother's Day Climate Rally -- the virtual edition.  We're rallying for the planet, clean energy, a healthy climate, and a healthy future. Mother's Day was originally a day of political activism, so we're returning to those activist roots. We are determined to protect the climate for our children, our children's children, and all future generations.

After you RSVP, you'll receive an email with instructions for joining the event online!

We have an incredible lineup of speakers:

WENONAH HAUTER, Founder and Executive Director of Food & Water Watch. Wenonah has three decades of experience campaigning and writing on food, water, energy, and environmental issues.

BILL MCKIBBEN, author of over a dozen books, educator, environmentalist and founder of 350.org. His 1989 book "The End of Nature" is regarded as the first book for a general audience about climate change and has appeared in 24 languages.

HARRIET SHUGARMAN, author of "How to Talk to Your Kids About Climate Change: Turning Angst into Action." She is also the Executive Director of ClimateMama and a professor of Global Climate Change Policy and World Sustainability.
