Rain or shine...

On September 8, thousands of rallies will be held in cities and towns around the world to demand our local leaders commit to a fast and fair transition to clean, 100% renewable energy for all, green jobs and climate justice.

Join us, and bring others to help us build an impressive crowd, to tell the Dallas Mayor, other mayors and local officials and leaders, that we want Climate Action Now and we're ready to help!

Regardless of the city where you live, you can make signs with your city/town name saying you want Climate Action Now in your own city/town. Tell your city/town why you care about the climate and why you want them to take action.

Dallas Mayor, Mike Rawlings, signed on to be a Climate Mayor and to "commit to adopt, honor, and uphold Paris Climate Agreement goals" (http://climatemayors.org/actions/paris-climate-agreement/). Let's ask Mayor Rawlings to uphold the agreement he made--walk-the-walk and not just talk-the-talk--with a Climate Action Plan!

We will have speakers that will speak on health issues related to climate and air pollution, jobs provided by the renewables sector, environmental justice with native nations, and more.

Let's make this positive and show our cities we want our leadership to stand up and take Climate Action Now!

The world can't wait. And neither will we!
