President Biden: Our voices will not be silenced!

Meet us on Sunday, April 21st at 1:00pm EST, at the White House to rally around 21 young Americans fighting for a livable climate future for all of us! We’ll gather on Pennsylvania Avenue at the White House, then GET LOUD! Hear from youth plaintiffs from across the nation including the landmark constitutional climate case, Juliana v. United States, the winning Held v. Montana case, Genesis v. U.S. EPA, and Layla H. v. Virginia.

Climate youth leaders, Zanagee Artis, of Zero Hour, and Jerome Foster II, of Waic Up and the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council, and Hortencia, an Indigenous elder, one of the Peoples in the Anahuac Basin in México, and spokesperson for #IProtectTheWetland, will share why the Juliana 21 must be heard at trial. This youth uprising at the nation’s capital will bring attention to the constitutional rights to a safe climate for children and future generations! This youth uprising at the nation’s capital will bring attention to the constitutional rights to a safe climate for children and future generations!

Together, we can DEMAND President Biden tell the DOJ: Send Juliana to trial! LET THE YOUTH BE HEARD!

More Background:

America’s Climate Case—and a livable climate future for all of us —is on the line.

In Juliana v. United States, 21 young Americans have fought 22 attempts by 3 Presidents to have their case for a livable climate future thrown out. They’ve just made their FINAL argument to be heard in the U.S. Court of Appeals and now, it’s in Biden’s hands. We need everyone to have their backs now.

Join us as we bring our fight straight to the White House.

TELL PRESIDENT BIDEN: Break rank from Trump’s playbook and heed the calls from youth as America’s Climate President, and say unequivocally YES—we do in fact have the right to be heard in the courts for the fight for our lives.

GET LOUD with us! DEMAND the Juliana 21 be heard at trial, where they will win, and force the United States, the BIGGEST contributor to climate change in the world, to make systemic change and phase out fossil fuels.

*Please RSVP today, mobilize your friends, family, and classmates, then SHOUT IT from the rooftops to Rally to #SaveJuliana!

ON THE DAY OF: Please WEAR BLUE. Also, come a bit earlier on rally day to grab picket signs, posters, and stickers created by famed artist, David Solnit, so we are ready to start at 1pm!

Make it impossible for President Biden to ignore us. Help send Juliana v. United States to trial where youth WILL win and hold our government accountable for our fundamental rights to a safe climate!
