Manchester Climate Strike

End: Friday, September 20, 2019• 1:00 PM
On September 20, thousands of climate strikes, led by youth and supported by schools and businesses, will be held in cities and towns around the world to demand immediate action on the climate crisis. Join us in Manchester, VT, as we hold our leaders to account and demand that they walk the talk on climate action.
During the following week, Earth Matters will hold events and activities throughout the Northshire area, including tree planting, farm tours, films about the climate crisis, a critical mass bike ride, an EV cruise-in and a play reading. Here is a calendar of events.
