Our grid is failing. Our homes are being destroyed by wild fires and super storms made worse by climate change. Our medical bills are increasing. All the while, our communities suffer from unlivable wages, crumbling schools, racial injustice, and COVID-19.

We can’t just wait. It’s time for us to act.

This Sunday, on the anniversary of Winter Storm Uri, join Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Austin Democratic Socialists of America, Sunrise Austin, Sierra Club Lone Star chapter and Education Austin in calling for a Green New Deal.

Date: February 13, 1 p.m. - Doors open at noon

Location: Pan American Park
