AUGUST 2023
It has been an incredible summer with climate impacts coast to coast to coast. Massive dislocation due to forest fires, and major flooding events. More than six times the area burned on average in the last ten years, and the summer’s not over yet. It’s a crucial time to raise our voices for climate action! And we have a full calendar of events in September to give you a place to raise your voice, with others. We invite everyone to get involved in a Global March to End Fossil Fuels action between Sept 15 and 17. Please scroll down for these opportunities - and join us! Together we can really make a difference.
