Fossil Free/350.org Big Island Hui at Hawaiian Cultural Center of Hamakua

Start: Wednesday, January 31, 2018• 6:00 PM

We are gathering Jan 31st at 6-8 pm at the Hawaiian Cultural Center of Hamakua to connect Big Island 350.org/Fossil Free Hui in the North Hawaii area with a nationwide Fossil Free Launch Party livestreamed from DC that day.   Ai Pono Potluck and small snacks for the watch party would be graciously accepted but not necessary, just show up and connect with the community!

The DC event will feature US Senator Bernie Sanders, 350.org co-founder Bill McKibben, Rev. Lennox Yearwood from Hip Hop Caucus, Jacqueline Patterson from the NAACP, Cherri Foytlin from BOLD Louisiana, Adriana Voss-Andreae from 350PDX, Varshini Prakash from the Sunrise Movement, Jessica Lorena Rangel from Eyes of a Dreamer, a representative from Sierra Club's Ready for 100 Campaign and a few other leaders. The event is 1.5hrs long, and we have 30 min of discussion/talk story after.   HCCOH is generously donating the hall for use, please feel free to donate to their collection bowl if you can to help fund their awesome programs and continued use!

Meet others in your community who want to organize to build local power and take climate action.

Working together, we will end the use of fossil fuels and transition our world to 100% renewable energy for all. We will brainstorm on local action efforts to work together on to make this a reality in our community.

Find out what you can do in your city or town to begin to build the Fossil Free future we need -- and connect with other activists equally passionate about this work.
