On April 29, the People's Climate March will bring together hundreds of thousands of people from across the country to demand jobs, justice and real climate solutions. Here in Boston, we'll have a full day of workshops and activities to build and grow our movement, starting with an energizing rally at 12:00 pm on Boston Common. Join us!

11:30am-12:00pm

• Music and gathering at the Parkman Bandstand on Boston Common

12:00-1:00pm

• Rally for jobs, justice and bold action on climate on Boston Common (Facebook page)

1:00-4:00pm

• Action tables, art-making, and music on Boston Common
• Teach-ins on the connections between the climate fight and other struggles for justice at indoor spaces around the Common (Facebook page and sign-up form)

For questions about accessibility at these events, please contact Hannah Klein: hannah.jalsa@gmail.com

On May 1, just two days later, immigrants, workers and supporters across the country, including in Boston, will be marching and striking for dignity and respect. Instead of hosting a separate march on April 29, we'll be asking the Boston climate movement to show up in force and take to the streets on May 1. Join us as we mobilize alongside our brothers and sisters in the immigrants' rights and labor movements. (Facebook page)

Who is organizing this?
A local coalition of labor unions, environmental justice groups, faith organizations, youth groups, and climate activism groups has been meeting over the last several months to both a) send hundreds of people from the Boston area to the People's Climate March in Washington, DC (buy your ticket here and/or donate to help others go! - and Massachusetts Sierra Club has several bus ticket options, too!) and b) plan a local PCM action here in Boston. We’re joining forces because we think this could be a transformative moment for the Massachusetts climate movement. We share a powerful vision: together, we want to build a forceful, justice-centered movement that lifts up the voices and leadership of those most affected by climate change. Our work together is grounded in the Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing.

More about the national People's Climate Mobilization:

Donald Trump is a threat to the future of our planet, the safety of our communities, and the health of our families.

The new administration has attacked the hard-won protections of our climate, health, and communities, and the rights of people of color, workers, indigenous people, immigrants, women, LGBTQIA, young people, and more.

We've fought back with a wave of protests larger than at almost any other point in history — let's make sure that we mark the 100th day of his presidency with another mass action that stands up for our communities.
