Join the People’s Climate Movement on April 29th in Montpelier and across the country to stand up for our communities and climate. We will be gathering at the State House Lawn in Montpelier for a solidarity rally at 1pm. The complete speakers and entertainment list will be announced soon, however we have confirmed U.S Senator Bernie Sanders, Lt. Governor David Zuckerman and Congressman Peter Welch. Music by
Head Phone Jack,
Kris Gruen, and
Chad Hollister.
Throughout the first 100 days in office, the People's Climate Movement is organizing a country-wide arc of action, culminating on April 29th in Washington DC in a powerful mobilization to unite all of our movements. To change everything, we need everyone.
We’re ready to fight back, and we are ready to build a resistance to Trump and Congress’ attacks on our climate, our communities, and our jobs that stands alongside the unprecedented Women’s Marches and other powerful rallies that shook the globe in the hours and days following the inauguration of Donald Trump and the 115th Congress.
On April 29th, we will march for our families. We will march for our air, our water, and our land. We will march for clean energy jobs and climate justice. We will march for our communities and the people we love.
In 2014, we said that it takes everyone to change everything. Now, with everything at stake, everyone has a part to play.

The Rally will be held this Saturday, April 29th from 1:00 – 4:00 pm on the Statehouse lawn -- come rain or shine. The Rally will kick off with music, followed by speakers, poets and more.
