On September 8, thousands of rallies will be held in cities and towns around the world to demand our local leaders commit to building a fossil free world that works for all of us.

Join us as we hold our local leaders to account and demand that they walk the talk on climate action. At 10:00 AM we will meet at the Cafeteria Room at the Northwest Recreation and Community Center in Salt Lake City. We will plan on walking the neighborhood and engaging the public at the Utah State Fair to provide them the opportunity to REGISTER TO VOTE and learn about the important nexus between climate and social justice issues.

For those with families or young children, we invite you to join us at any point throughout the day to HONK & WAVE and let folks know that you will VOTE FOR CLIMATE, JOBS & JUSTICE. Join us at any point throughout the day to make a sign, register to vote, and show your support for climate action and voter education!

At the Peoples Energy Summit on May 12, 2018 many of us committed to individual and collective goals for a Just Transition.  Today 4 months later we reaffirm those comments and elect local, state and federal level decision makers that will incorporate this into their platforms and decisions.

A Just Transition is a vision-led, unifying and place-based set of principles, processes and practices that build cultural, social, economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy. The transition itself must be just and equitable; redressing past harms and creating new relationships of power for the future through reparations.

A Just Transition recognizes that strategies were first forged by labor unions and environmental justice groups, rooted in people of color and low-income communities as well as Indigenous lands; who jointly saw the need to phase out industries that were polluting workers, community and Mother Earth; and at the same time provide just pathways for workers to transition to other jobs. It was rooted in workers defining a transition away from toxic polluting industries in alliances with fence line and frontline communities.  

A Just Transition affirms the need for restoring indigenous life ways of responsibility and respect to the sacred Creation Principles and Natural Laws of Mother Earth and Father Sky, to live in peace with each other and to ensure harmony with nature, the Circle of Life, and within all Creation.
