Speak for the Seas! Kids Call Out Cruise Rally & Press Conference
Start: Saturday, April 06, 2024•10:00 AM
End: Saturday, April 06, 2024•12:00 PM
Seattle Cruise Control, joined by Climate Action Families, Extinction Rebellion Seattle, and South Seattle Climate Action Network, invites you to be part of a demonstration against the opening of the Seattle-Alaska cruise season!
Help protect the people and planet we love from the harms of cruise ships with a rally at Pier 66. We’ll have lots of art, chants, fliers, and music. The event will feature a press conference led by young people dressed as sea creature characters - introducing The Walrax! along with Doctor Dolphin and a Worker Whale - who will speak in Dr Suess-style rhymes about how cruise ships pollute our waters, poison our air, endanger our health, jeopardize our climate, exploit onboard workers, and overwhelm destination communities.
Gather at Pier 62 at 10am. Short march along sidewalk to Pier 66, with the press conference starting at 11am. This is a family-friendly event.
