Rise Up for Oregon’s Sun Powered Future

Celebrate the Sun Power Revolution with us on Sun Day at Waterfront Park with a rally, a parade and a Sun Ball, and send a message that we demand a rapid, equitable transition to abundant clean energy and the jobs and economy of the future.

Sun Day is a national day of action celebrating the unstoppable rise of clean energy and the movement to leave fossil fuels behind. Clean renewable energy is now the least expensive energy source. The economy and jobs of the future will be driven by clean energy. But we are being held back by our leaders and by entrenched interests.

People all over the country and all over the world are coming together on Sun Day to send a message: we will not be held back.

Join us on Sun Day September 21 at Waterfront Park at noon.

The sun can power the world.You can power a movement.
